Peilin Ye ff3afe5da9 selftests/bpf: Add selftests for load-acquire and store-release instructions
Add several ./test_progs tests:

  - arena_atomics/load_acquire
  - arena_atomics/store_release
  - verifier_load_acquire/*
  - verifier_store_release/*
  - verifier_precision/bpf_load_acquire
  - verifier_precision/bpf_store_release

The last two tests are added to check if backtrack_insn() handles the
new instructions correctly.

Additionally, the last test also makes sure that the verifier
"remembers" the value (in src_reg) we store-release into e.g. a stack
slot.  For example, if we take a look at the test program:

    #0:  r1 = 8;
      /* store_release((u64 *)(r10 - 8), r1); */
    #1:  .8byte %[store_release];
    #2:  r1 = *(u64 *)(r10 - 8);
    #3:  r2 = r10;
    #4:  r2 += r1;
    #5:  r0 = 0;
    #6:  exit;

At #1, if the verifier doesn't remember that we wrote 8 to the stack,
then later at #4 we would be adding an unbounded scalar value to the
stack pointer, which would cause the program to be rejected:

  VERIFIER LOG:
  =============
...
  math between fp pointer and register with unbounded min value is not allowed

For easier CI integration, instead of using built-ins like
__atomic_{load,store}_n() which depend on the new
__BPF_FEATURE_LOAD_ACQ_STORE_REL pre-defined macro, manually craft
load-acquire/store-release instructions using __imm_insn(), as suggested
by Eduard.

All new tests depend on:

  (1) Clang major version >= 18, and
  (2) ENABLE_ATOMICS_TESTS is defined (currently implies -mcpu=v3 or
      v4), and
  (3) JIT supports load-acquire/store-release (currently arm64 and
      x86-64)

In .../progs/arena_atomics.c:

  /* 8-byte-aligned */
  __u8 __arena_global load_acquire8_value = 0x12;
  /* 1-byte hole */
  __u16 __arena_global load_acquire16_value = 0x1234;

That 1-byte hole in the .addr_space.1 ELF section caused clang-17 to
crash:

  fatal error: error in backend: unable to write nop sequence of 1 bytes

To work around such llvm-17 CI job failures, conditionally define
__arena_global variables as 64-bit if __clang_major__ < 18, to make sure
.addr_space.1 has no holes.  Ideally we should avoid compiling this file
using clang-17 at all (arena tests depend on
__BPF_FEATURE_ADDR_SPACE_CAST, and are skipped for llvm-17 anyway), but
that is a separate topic.

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.
