David Vernet 8ba651ed7f bpf: Support default .validate() and .update() behavior for struct_ops links
Currently, if a struct_ops map is loaded with BPF_F_LINK, it must also
define the .validate() and .update() callbacks in its corresponding
struct bpf_struct_ops in the kernel. Enabling struct_ops link is useful
in its own right to ensure that the map is unloaded if an application
crashes. For example, with sched_ext, we want to automatically unload
the host-wide scheduler if the application crashes. We would likely
never support updating elements of a sched_ext struct_ops map, so we'd
have to implement these callbacks showing that they _can't_ support
element updates just to benefit from the basic lifetime management of
struct_ops links.

Let's enable struct_ops maps to work with BPF_F_LINK even if they
haven't defined these callbacks, by assuming that a struct_ops map
element cannot be updated by default.

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.
