selftests, bpf: Make docs tests fail more reliably

Previously, if rst2man caught errors, then these would be ignored and
the output file would be written anyway. This would allow developers to
introduce regressions in the docs comments in the BPF headers.

Additionally, even if you instruct rst2man to fail out, it will still
write out to the destination target file, so if you ran the tests twice
in a row it would always pass. Use a temporary file for the initial run
to ensure that if rst2man fails out under "--strict" mode, subsequent
runs will not automatically pass.

Tested via ./tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_doc_build.sh

Merge tag 'net-next-5.13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"Core:

- bpf:
- allow bpf programs calling kernel functions (initially to
reuse TCP congestion control implementations)
- enable task local storage for tracing programs - remove the
need to store per-task state in hash maps, and allow tracing
programs access to task local storage previously added for
BPF_LSM
- add bpf_for_each_map_elem() helper, allowing programs to walk
all map elements in a more robust and easier to verify fashion
- sockmap: support UDP and cross-protocol BPF_SK_SKB_VERDICT
redirection
- lpm: add support for batched ops in LPM trie
- add BTF_KIND_FLOAT support - mostly to allow use of BTF on
s390 which has floats in its headers files
- improve BPF syscall documentation and extend the use of kdoc
parsing scripts we already employ for bpf-helpers
- libbpf, bpftool: support static linking of BPF ELF files
- improve support for encapsulation of L2 packets

- xdp: restructure redirect actions to avoid a runtime lookup,
improving performance by 4-8% in microbenchmarks

- xsk: build skb by page (aka generic zerocopy xmit) - improve
performance of software AF_XDP path by 33% for devices which don't
need headers in the linear skb part (e.g. virtio)

- nexthop: resilient next-hop groups - improve path stability on
next-hops group changes (incl. offload for mlxsw)

- ipv6: segment routing: add support for IPv4 decapsulation

- icmp: add support for RFC 8335 extended PROBE messages

- inet: use bigger hash table for IP ID generation

- tcp: deal better with delayed TX completions - make sure we don't
give up on fast TCP retransmissions only because driver is slow in
reporting that it completed transmitting the original

- tcp: reorder tcp_congestion_ops for better cache locality

- mptcp:
- add sockopt support for common TCP options
- add support for common TCP msg flags
- include multiple address ids in RM_ADDR
- add reset option support for resetting one subflow

- udp: GRO L4 improvements - improve 'forward' / 'frag_list'
co-existence with UDP tunnel GRO, allowing the first to take place
correctly even for encapsulated UDP traffic

- micro-optimize dev_gro_receive() and flow dissection, avoid
retpoline overhead on VLAN and TEB GRO

- use less memory for sysctls, add a new sysctl type, to allow using
u8 instead of "int" and "long" and shrink networking sysctls

- veth: allow GRO without XDP - this allows aggregating UDP packets
before handing them off to routing, bridge, OvS, etc.

- allow specifing ifindex when device is moved to another namespace

- netfilter:
- nft_socket: add support for cgroupsv2
- nftables: add catch-all set element - special element used to
define a default action in case normal lookup missed
- use net_generic infra in many modules to avoid allocating
per-ns memory unnecessarily

- xps: improve the xps handling to avoid potential out-of-bound
accesses and use-after-free when XPS change race with other
re-configuration under traffic

- add a config knob to turn off per-cpu netdev refcnt to catch
underflows in testing

Device APIs:

- add WWAN subsystem to organize the WWAN interfaces better and
hopefully start driving towards more unified and vendor-
independent APIs

- ethtool:
- add interface for reading IEEE MIB stats (incl. mlx5 and bnxt
support)
- allow network drivers to dump arbitrary SFP EEPROM data,
current offset+length API was a poor fit for modern SFP which
define EEPROM in terms of pages (incl. mlx5 support)

- act_police, flow_offload: add support for packet-per-second
policing (incl. offload for nfp)

- psample: add additional metadata attributes like transit delay for
packets sampled from switch HW (and corresponding egress and
policy-based sampling in the mlxsw driver)

- dsa: improve support for sandwiched LAGs with bridge and DSA

- netfilter:
- flowtable: use direct xmit in topologies with IP forwarding,
bridging, vlans etc.

- allow concurrent monitor iface and ethernet rx decap
- set priority and queue mapping for injected frames

- phy: add support for Clause-45 PHY Loopback

- pci/iov: add sysfs MSI-X vector assignment interface to distribute
MSI-X resources to VFs (incl. mlx5 support)

New hardware/drivers:

- dsa: mv88e6xxx: add support for Marvell mv88e6393x - 11-port
Ethernet switch with 8x 1-Gigabit Ethernet and 3x 10-Gigabit
interfaces.

- dsa: support for legacy Broadcom tags used on BCM5325, BCM5365 and

Merge branch 'Improve BPF syscall command documentation'

Joe Stringer says:

====================

The state of bpf(2) manual pages today is not exactly ideal. For the
most part, it was written several years ago and has not kept up with the
pace of development in the kernel tree. For instance, out of a total of
~35 commands to the BPF syscall available today, when I pull the
kernel-man-pages tree today I find just 6 documented commands: The very
basics of map interaction and program load.

In contrast, looking at bpf-helpers(7), I am able today to run one
command[0] to fetch API documentation of the very latest eBPF helpers
that have been added to the kernel. This documentation is up to date
because kernel maintainers enforce documenting the APIs as part of
the feature submission process. As far as I can tell, we rely on manual
synchronization from the kernel tree to the kernel-man-pages tree to
distribute these more widely, so all locations may not be completely up
to date. That said, the documentation does in fact exist in the first
place which is a major initial hurdle to overcome.

Given the relative success of the process around bpf-helpers(7) to
encourage developers to document their user-facing changes, in this
patch series I explore applying this technique to bpf(2) as well.
Unfortunately, even with bpf(2) being so out-of-date, there is still a
lot of content to convert over. In particular, the following aspects of
the bpf syscall could also be individually be generated from separate
documentation in the header:
* BPF syscall commands
* BPF map types
* BPF program types
* BPF program subtypes (aka expected_attach_type)
* BPF attachment points

Rather than tackle everything at once, I have focused in this series on
the syscall commands, "enum bpf_cmd". This series is structured to first
import what useful descriptions there are from the kernel-man-pages
tree, then piece-by-piece document a few of the syscalls in more detail
in cases where I could find useful documentation from the git tree or
from a casual read of the code. Not all documentation is comprehensive
at this point, but a basis is provided with examples that can be further
enhanced with subsequent follow-up patches. Note, the series in its
current state only includes documentation around the syscall commands
themselves, so in the short term it doesn't allow us to automate bpf(2)
generation; Only one section of the man page could be replaced. Though
if there is appetite for this approach, this should be trivial to
improve on, even if just by importing the remaining static text from the
kernel-man-pages tree.

Following that, the series enhances the python scripting around parsing
the descriptions from the header files and generating dedicated
ReStructured Text and troff output. Finally, to expose the new text and
reduce the likelihood of having it get out of date or break the docs
parser, it is added to the selftests and exposed through the kernel
documentation web pages.

The eventual goal of this effort would be to extend the kernel UAPI
headers such that each of the categories I had listed above (commands,
maps, progs, hooks) have dedicated documentation in the kernel tree, and
that developers must update the comments in the headers to document the
APIs prior to patch acceptance, and that we could auto-generate the
latest version of the bpf(2) manual pages based on a few static
description sections combined with the dynamically-generated output from
the header.

This patch series can also be found at the following location on GitHub:

Thanks also to Quentin Monnet for initial review.

[0]: make -C tools/testing/selftests/bpf docs

v2:
* Remove build infrastructure in favor of kernel-doc directives
* Shift userspace-api docs under Documentation/userspace-api/ebpf
* Fix scripts/bpf_doc.py syscall --header (throw unsupported error)
* Improve .gitignore handling of newly autogenerated files

selftests/bpf: Test syscall command parsing

Add building of the bpf(2) syscall commands documentation as part of the
docs building step in the build. This allows us to pick up on potential
parse errors from the docs generator script as part of selftests.

The generated manual pages here are not intended for distribution, they
are just a fragment that can be integrated into the other static text of
bpf(2) to form the full manual page.
