selftests/bpf: Add tests for execution context helpers
Add a new selftest suite `exe_ctx` to verify the accuracy of the
bpf_in_task(), bpf_in_hardirq(), and bpf_in_serving_softirq() helpers
introduced in bpf_experimental.h.
Testing these execution contexts deterministically requires crossing
context boundaries within a single CPU. To achieve this, the test
implements a "Trigger-Observer" pattern using bpf_testmod:
1. Trigger: A BPF syscall program calls a new bpf_testmod kfunc
bpf_kfunc_trigger_ctx_check().
2. Task to HardIRQ: The kfunc uses irq_work_queue() to trigger a
self-IPI on the local CPU.
3. HardIRQ to SoftIRQ: The irq_work handler calls a dummy function
(observed by BPF fentry) and then schedules a tasklet to
transition into SoftIRQ context.
The user-space runner ensures determinism by pinning itself to CPU 0
before execution, forcing the entire interrupt chain to remain on a
single core. Dummy noinline functions with compiler barriers are
added to bpf_testmod.c to serve as stable attachment points for
fentry programs. A retry loop is used in user-space to wait for the
asynchronous SoftIRQ to complete.
Note that testing on s390x is avoided because supporting those helpers
purely in BPF on s390x is not possible at this point.
