A new bpf command BPF_ITER_CREATE is added.
The anonymous bpf iterator is seq_file based.
The seq_file private data are referenced by targets.
The bpf_iter infrastructure allocated additional space
at seq_file->private before the space used by targets
to store some meta data, e.g.,
prog: prog to run
session_id: an unique id for each opened seq_file
seq_num: how many times bpf programs are queried in this session
done_stop: an internal state to decide whether bpf program
should be called in seq_ops->stop() or not
The seq_num will start from 0 for valid objects.
The bpf program may see the same seq_num more than once if
- seq_file buffer overflow happens and the same object
is retried by bpf_seq_read(), or
- the bpf program explicitly requests a retry of the
same object
Since module is not supported for bpf_iter, all target
registeration happens at __init time, so there is no
need to change bpf_iter_unreg_target() as it is used
mostly in error path of the init function at which time
no bpf iterators have been created yet.

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 Restructured Text 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.
