Jason Gunthorpe 3a863577a7 IB/uverbs: Use uverbs_api to unmarshal ioctl commands
Convert the ioctl method syscall path to use the uverbs_api data
structures. The new uapi structure includes all the same information, just
in a different and more optimal way.

 - Use attr_bkey instead of 2 level radix trees for everything related to
   attributes. This includes the attribute storage, presence, and
   detection of missing mandatory attributes.
 - Avoid iterating over all attribute storage at finish, instead use
   find_first_bit with the attr_bkey to locate only those attrs that need
   cleanup.
 - Organize things to always run, and always rely on, cleanup. This
   avoids a bunch of tricky error unwind cases.
 - Locate the method using the radix tree, and locate the attributes
   using a very efficient incremental radix tree lookup
 - Use the precomputed destroy_bkey to handle uobject destruction
 - Use the precomputed allocation sizes and precomputed 'need_stack'
   to avoid maths in the fast path. This is optimal if userspace
   does not pass (many) unsupported attributes.

Overall this results in much better codegen for the attribute accessors,
everything is now stored in bitmaps or linear arrays indexed by attr_bkey.
The compiler can compute attr_bkey values at compile time for all method
attributes, meaning things like uverbs_attr_is_valid() now compile into
single instruction bit tests.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
