The tests at tools/testing/selftests/bpf can run in patch mode, e.g.,
make -C tools/testing/selftests/bpf run_tests
With the batch mode, I experimented intermittent test failure of
test_xdp_redirect.sh.
....
selftests: test_xdp_redirect [PASS]
selftests: test_xdp_redirect.sh [PASS]
RTNETLINK answers: File exists
selftests: test_xdp_meta [FAILED]
selftests: test_xdp_meta.sh [FAIL]
....
The following illustrates what caused the failure:
(1). test_xdp_redirect creates veth pairs (veth1,veth11) and
(veth2,veth22), and assign veth11 and veth22 to namespace
ns1 and ns2 respectively.
(2). at the end of test_xdp_redirect test, ns1 and ns2 are
deleted. During this process, the deletion of actual
namespace resources, including deletion of veth1{1} and veth2{2},
is put into a workqueue to be processed asynchronously.
(3). test_xdp_meta tries to create veth pair (veth1, veth2).
The previous veth deletions in step (2) have not finished yet,
and veth1 or veth2 may be still valid in the kernel, thus
causing the failure.
The fix is to explicitly delete the veth pair before test_xdp_redirect
exits. Only one end of veth needs deletion as the kernel will delete
the other end automatically. Also test_xdp_meta is also fixed in
similar manner to avoid future potential issues.

Add various test_verifier selftests, and a simple xdp/tc functional
test that is being attached to veths. Also let new versions of clang
use the recently added -mcpu=probe support [1] for the BPF target,
so that it can probe the underlying kernel for BPF insn set extensions.
We could also just set this options always, where older versions just
ignore it and give a note to the user that the -mcpu value is not
supported, but given emitting the note cannot be turned off from clang
side lets not confuse users running selftests with it, thus fallback
to the default generic one when we see that clang doesn't support it.
Also allow CPU option to be overridden in the Makefile from command
line.
