bpftool: Update doc (use susbtitutions) and test_bpftool_synctypes.py
test_bpftool_synctypes.py helps detecting inconsistencies in bpftool
between the different list of types and options scattered in the
sources, the documentation, and the bash completion. For options that
apply to all bpftool commands, the script had a hardcoded list of
values, and would use them to check whether the man pages are
up-to-date. When writing the script, it felt acceptable to have this
list in order to avoid to open and parse bpftool's main.h every time,
and because the list of global options in bpftool doesn't change so
often.
However, this is prone to omissions, and we recently added a new
-l|--legacy option which was described in common_options.rst, but not
listed in the options summary of each manual page. The script did not
complain, because it keeps comparing the hardcoded list to the (now)
outdated list in the header file.
To address the issue, this commit brings the following changes:
- Options that are common to all bpftool commands (--json, --pretty, and
--debug) are moved to a dedicated file, and used in the definition of
a RST substitution. This substitution is used in the sources of all
the man pages.
- This list of common options is updated, with the addition of the new
-l|--legacy option.
- The script test_bpftool_synctypes.py is updated to compare:
- Options specific to a command, found in C files, for the
interactive help messages, with the same specific options from the
relevant man page for that command.
- Common options, checked just once: the list in main.h is
compared with the new list in substitutions.rst.

bpftool: Use simpler indentation in source rST for documentation
The rST manual pages for bpftool would use a mix of tabs and spaces for
indentation. While this is the norm in C code, this is rather unusual
for rST documents, and over time we've seen many contributors use a
wrong level of indentation for documentation update.
Let's fix bpftool's indentation in docs once and for all:
- Let's use spaces, that are more common in rST files.
- Remove one level of indentation for the synopsis, the command
description, and the "see also" section. As a result, all sections
start with the same indentation level in the generated man page.
- Rewrap the paragraphs after the changes.
There is no content change in this patch, only indentation and
rewrapping changes. The wrapping in the generated source files for the
manual pages is changed, but the pages displayed with "man" remain the
same, apart from the adjusted indentation level on relevant sections.
[ Quentin: rebased on bpf-next, removed indent level for command
description and options, updated synopsis, command summary, and "see
also" sections. ]

tools/bpf: bpftool: add net support
Add "bpftool net" support. Networking devices are enumerated
to dump device index/name associated with xdp progs.
For each networking device, tc classes and qdiscs are enumerated
in order to check their bpf filters.
In addition, root handle and clsact ingress/egress are also checked for
bpf filters. Not all filter information is printed out. Only ifindex,
kind, filter name, prog_id and tag are printed out, which are good
enough to show attachment information. If the filter action
is a bpf action, its bpf program id, bpf name and tag will be
printed out as well.
For example,
$ ./bpftool net
xdp [
ifindex 2 devname eth0 prog_id 198
]
tc_filters [
ifindex 2 kind qdisc_htb name prefix_matcher.o:[cls_prefix_matcher_htb]
prog_id 111727 tag d08fe3b4319bc2fd act []
ifindex 2 kind qdisc_clsact_ingress name fbflow_icmp

bpftool: Use simpler indentation in source rST for documentation
The rST manual pages for bpftool would use a mix of tabs and spaces for
indentation. While this is the norm in C code, this is rather unusual
for rST documents, and over time we've seen many contributors use a
wrong level of indentation for documentation update.
Let's fix bpftool's indentation in docs once and for all:
- Let's use spaces, that are more common in rST files.
- Remove one level of indentation for the synopsis, the command
description, and the "see also" section. As a result, all sections
start with the same indentation level in the generated man page.
- Rewrap the paragraphs after the changes.
There is no content change in this patch, only indentation and
rewrapping changes. The wrapping in the generated source files for the
manual pages is changed, but the pages displayed with "man" remain the
same, apart from the adjusted indentation level on relevant sections.
[ Quentin: rebased on bpf-next, removed indent level for command
description and options, updated synopsis, command summary, and "see
also" sections. ]
