[bpf-next,0/2] Add kfuncs to support reading xattr from dentry

Message

The use case is to tag directories with xattr. For example, "user.allow_x"
tag on /bin would allow execution of all files under /bin. To achieve this,
we start from the security_file_open() hook and read xattr of all the
parent directories.

4 kfuncs are added in this set:

  bpf_get_dentry_xattr
  bpf_file_dentry
  bpf_dget_parent
  bpf_dput

The first is used to read xattr from dentry; while the other 3 are used to
walk the directory tree.

Note that, these functions are only allowed from LSM hooks.

Song Liu (2):
  bpf: Add kfunc bpf_get_dentry_xattr() to read xattr from dentry
  selftests/bpf: Add tests for bpf_get_dentry_xattr
