Since bpf is not using rlimit memlock for the memory accounting
and control, do not change the limit in sample applications.

The memlock rlimit is a notorious source of failure for BPF programs. Most
of the samples just set it to infinity, but a few used a lower limit. The
problem with unconditionally setting a lower limit is that this will also
override the limit if the system-wide setting is *higher* than the limit
being set, which can lead to failures on systems that lock a lot of memory,
but set 'ulimit -l' to unlimited before running a sample.
One fix for this is to only conditionally set the limit if the current
limit is lower, but it is simpler to just unify all the samples and have
them all set the limit to infinity.

Memset on the pointer right after malloc can cause a NULL pointer
deference if it failed to allocate memory. A simple fix is to
replace malloc()/memset() pair with a simple call to calloc().

Fix all files in samples/bpf to include libbpf header files with the bpf/
prefix, to be consistent with external users of the library. Also ensure
that all includes of exported libbpf header files (those that are exported
on 'make install' of the library) use bracketed includes instead of quoted.
To make sure no new files are introduced that doesn't include the bpf/
prefix in its include, remove tools/lib/bpf from the include path entirely,
and use tools/lib instead.

When attaching XDP programs, userspace can set flags to request the attach
mode (generic/SKB mode, driver mode or hw offloaded mode). If no such flags
are requested, the kernel will attempt to attach in driver mode, and then
silently fall back to SKB mode if this fails.
The silent fallback is a major source of user confusion, as users will try
to load a program on a device without XDP support, and instead of an error
they will get the silent fallback behaviour, not notice, and then wonder
why performance is not what they were expecting.
In an attempt to combat this, let's switch all the samples to default to
explicitly requesting driver-mode attach. As part of this, ensure that all
the userspace utilities have a switch to enable SKB mode. For those that
have a switch to request driver mode, keep it but turn it into a no-op.

In the days of using bpf_load.c the order in which the 'maps' sections
were defines in BPF side (*_kern.c) file, were used by userspace side
to identify the map via using the map order as an index. In effect the
order-index is created based on the order the maps sections are stored
in the ELF-object file, by the LLVM compiler.
This have also carried over in libbpf via API bpf_map__next(NULL, obj)
to extract maps in the order libbpf parsed the ELF-object file.
When BTF based maps were introduced a new section type ".maps" were
created. I found that the LLVM compiler doesn't create the ".maps"
sections in the order they are defined in the C-file. The order in the
ELF file is based on the order the map pointer is referenced in the code.
This combination of changes lead to xdp_rxq_info mixing up the map
file-descriptors in userspace, resulting in very broken behaviour, but
without warning the user.
This patch fix issue by instead using bpf_object__find_map_by_name()
to find maps via their names. (Note, this is the ELF name, which can
be longer than the name the kernel retains).

Currently, under samples, several methods are being used to load bpf
program.
Since using libbpf is preferred solution, lots of previously used
'load_bpf_file' from bpf_load are replaced with 'bpf_prog_load_xattr'
from libbpf.
But some of the error messages still show up as 'load_bpf_file' instead
of 'bpf_prog_load_xattr'.
This commit fixes outdated errror messages under samples and fixes some
code style issues.

Currently, header inclusion in each file is inconsistent.
For example, "libbpf.h" header is included as multiple ways.
#include "bpf/libbpf.h"
#include "libbpf.h"
Due to commit b552d33c80 ("samples/bpf: fix include path
in Makefile"), $(srctree)/tools/lib/bpf/ path had been included
during build, path "bpf/" in header isn't necessary anymore.
This commit removes path "bpf/" in header inclusion.

that were previously converted to libbpf usage. Avoid the situation of

Handle also the case where bpf_get_link_xdp_id didn't exit with an error

It is common XDP practice to unload/deattach the XDP bpf program,
when the XDP sample program is Ctrl-C interrupted (SIGINT) or
killed (SIGTERM).
The samples/bpf programs xdp_redirect_cpu and xdp_rxq_info,
forgot to trap signal SIGTERM (which is the default signal used
by the kill command).
This was discovered by Red Hat QA, which automated scripts depend
on killing the XDP sample program after a timeout period.

XDP_TX requires also changing the MAC-addrs, else some hardware
may drop the TX packet before reaching the wire. This was
observed with driver mlx5.
If xdp_rxq_info select --action XDP_TX the swapmac functionality
is activated. It is also possible to manually enable via cmdline
option --swapmac. This is practical if wanting to measure the
overhead of writing/updating payload for other action types.

The effect seen above is a result of cache-misses occuring when
more RXQs are being used. Based on perf-event observations, our
conclusion is that the CPUs DDIO (Direct Data I/O) choose to
deliver packet into main memory, instead of L3-cache. We also
found, that this can be mitigated by either using less RXQs or by
reducing NICs the RX-ring size.

Now that we can use full powers of libbpf in BPF samples, we
should perhaps make the simplest XDP programs not depend on
bpf_load helpers. This way newcomers will be exposed to the
recommended library from the start.
Use of bpf_prog_load_xattr() will also make it trivial to later
on request offload of the programs by simply adding ifindex to
the xattr.

This sample program can be used for monitoring and reporting how many
packets per sec (pps) are received per NIC RX queue index and which
CPU processed the packet. In itself it is a useful tool for quickly
identifying RSS imbalance issues, see below.
The default XDP action is XDP_PASS in-order to provide a monitor
mode. For benchmarking purposes it is possible to specify other XDP
actions on the cmdline --action.
Output below shows an imbalance RSS case where most RXQ's deliver to
CPU-0 while CPU-2 only get packets from a single RXQ. Looking at
things from a CPU level the two CPUs are processing approx the same
amount, BUT looking at the rx_queue_index levels it is clear that
RXQ-2 receive much better service, than other RXQs which all share CPU-0.
