[RFC,bpf-next,v2,00/10] allow HID-BPF to do device IOs

Message

[Still a RFC: there are a lot of FIXMEs in the code, and
calling the sleepable timer cb actually crashes.]
[Also using bpf-next as the base tree as there will be conflicting
changes otherwise]

This is crashing, and I have a few questions in the code (look for all
of the FIXMEs), so sending this now before I become insane :)

For reference, the use cases I have in mind:

---

Basically, I need to be able to defer a HID-BPF program for the
following reasons (from the aforementioned patch):
1. defer an event:
   Sometimes we receive an out of proximity event, but the device can not
   be trusted enough, and we need to ensure that we won't receive another
   one in the following n milliseconds. So we need to wait those n
   milliseconds, and eventually re-inject that event in the stack.

2. inject new events in reaction to one given event:
   We might want to transform one given event into several. This is the
   case for macro keys where a single key press is supposed to send
   a sequence of key presses. But this could also be used to patch a
   faulty behavior, if a device forgets to send a release event.

3. communicate with the device in reaction to one event:
   We might want to communicate back to the device after a given event.
   For example a device might send us an event saying that it came back
   from sleeping state and needs to be re-initialized.

Currently we can achieve that by keeping a userspace program around,
raise a bpf event, and let that userspace program inject the events and
commands.
However, we are just keeping that program alive as a daemon for just
scheduling commands. There is no logic in it, so it doesn't really justify
an actual userspace wakeup. So a kernel workqueue seems simpler to handle.

The other part I'm not sure is whether we can say that BPF maps of type
queue/stack can be used in sleepable context.
I don't see any warning when running the test programs, but that's probably
not a guarantee I'm doing the things properly :)

Cheers,
Benjamin

Changes in v2:
- make use of bpf_timer (and dropped the custom HID handling)
- implemented bpf_timer_set_sleepable_cb as a kfunc
- still not implemented global subprogs
- no sleepable bpf_timer selftests yet
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[e-mail]
