Eduard Zingerman 43736ec3e0 bpf: Include verifier memory allocations in memcg statistics
This commit adds __GFP_ACCOUNT flag to verifier induced memory
allocations. The intent is to account for all allocations reachable
from BPF_PROG_LOAD command, which is needed to track verifier memory
consumption in veristat. This includes allocations done in verifier.c,
and some allocations in btf.c, functions in log.c do not allocate.

There is also a utility function bpf_memcg_flags() which selectively
adds GFP_ACCOUNT flag depending on the `cgroup.memory=nobpf` option.
As far as I understand [1], the idea is to remove bpf_prog instances
and maps from memcg accounting as these objects do not strictly belong
to cgroup, hence it should not apply here.

(btf_parse_fields() is reachable from both program load and map
 creation, but allocated record is not persistent as is freed as soon
 as map_check_btf() exits).

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 reStructuredText 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.
