tools: bpftool: add "prog run" subcommand to test-run programs
Add a new "bpftool prog run" subcommand to run a loaded program on input data (and possibly with input context) passed by the user. Print output data (and output context if relevant) into a file or into the console. Print return value and duration for the test run into the console. A "repeat" argument can be passed to run the program several times in a row. The command does not perform any kind of verification based on program type (Is this program type allowed to use an input context?) or on data consistency (Can I work with empty input data?), this is left to the kernel. Example invocation: # perl -e 'print "\x0" x 14' | ./bpftool prog run \ pinned /sys/fs/bpf/sample_ret0 \ data_in - data_out - repeat 5 0000000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 | ........ ...... Return value: 0, duration (average): 260ns When one of data_in or ctx_in is "-", bpftool reads from standard input, in binary format. Other formats (JSON, hexdump) might be supported (via an optional command line keyword like "data_fmt_in") in the future if relevant, but this would require doing more parsing in bpftool. v2: - Fix argument names for function check_single_stdin().
