This patch aims to introduce BPF injection capabilities for SMC and includes a self-test to ensure code stability. Since the SMC protocol isn't ideal for every situation, especially short-lived ones, most applications can't guarantee the absence of such scenarios. Consequently, applications may need specific strategies to decide whether to use SMC. For example, an application might limit SMC usage to certain IP addresses or ports. To maintain the principle of transparent replacement, we want applications to remain unaffected even if they need specific SMC strategies. In other words, they should not require recompilation of their code. Additionally, we need to ensure the scalability of strategy implementation. While using socket options or sysctl might be straightforward, it could complicate future expansions. Fortunately, BPF addresses these concerns effectively. Users can write their own strategies in eBPF to determine whether to use SMC, and they can easily modify those strategies in the future. This is a rework of the series from [1]. Changes since [1] are limited to the SMC parts: 1. Rename smc_ops to smc_hs_ctrl and change interface name. 2. Squash SMC patches, removing standalone non-BPF hook capability. 3. Fix typos [1]: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20250123015942.94810-1-alibud... v2 -> v1: - Removed the fixes patch, which have already been merged on current branch. - Fixed compilation warning of smc_call_hsbpf() when CONFIG_SMC_HS_CTRL_BPF is not enabled. - Changed the default value of CONFIG_SMC_HS_CTRL_BPF to Y. - Fix typo and renamed some variables D.
