Add support for XSK zero-copy to RX path. The setup of the XSK pool can
be done at runtime. If the netdev is running, then the queue must be
disabled and enabled during reconfiguration. This can be done easily
with functions introduced in previous commits.
A more important property is that, if the netdev is running, then the
setup of the XSK pool shall not stop the netdev in case of errors. A
broken netdev after a failed XSK pool setup is bad behavior. Therefore,
the allocation and setup of resources during XSK pool setup is done only
before any queue is disabled. Additionally, freeing and later allocation
of resources is eliminated in some cases. Page pool entries are kept for
later use. Two memory models are registered in parallel. As a result,
the XSK pool setup cannot fail during queue reconfiguration.
In contrast to other drivers, XSK pool setup and XDP BPF program setup
are separate actions. XSK pool setup can be done without any XDP BPF
program. The XDP BPF program can be added, removed or changed without
any reconfiguration of the XSK pool.
Test results with A53 1.2GHz:
xdpsock rxdrop copy mode, 64 byte frames:
pps pkts 1.00
rx 856,054 10,625,775
Two CPUs with both 100% utilization.
xdpsock rxdrop zero-copy mode, 64 byte frames:
pps pkts 1.00
rx 889,388 4,615,284
Two CPUs with 100% and 20% utilization.
Packet rate increases and CPU utilization is reduced.
100% CPU load seems to the base load. This load is consumed by ksoftirqd
just for dropping the generated packets without xdpsock running.
Using batch API reduced CPU utilization slightly, but measurements are
not stable enough to provide meaningful numbers.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
