[PATCH 00/11] hornet: security, tooling and selftest fixes

[Blaise Boscaccy]

Patch 1 closes a TOCTOU race in signature verification. Map
contents were hashed at the program-load hook and re-hashed at
the program-run hook, leaving a window in which a sufficiently
privileged attacker could mutate a map between the two checks
and run a program whose maps no longer matched what was signed.
The fix records the verified hashes on the prog at load time
and, in security_bpf_prog, checks them against
prog->aux->used_maps — the same map set the verifier and
runtime resolve against — so the verified and executed sets
cannot diverge. The per-map index in the signature format is no
longer needed and is dropped; the check becomes a subset test.
Reported by Eric Biggers.

Patches 2-3 fix two counting bugs in the same area: duplicate maps
could satisfy the required hash count, and an off-by-one capped
accepted maps at MAX_USED_MAPS.

Patches 4-11 are in response to sashiko feedback found here:

They provide some correctness fixes in the hornet tooling along with
making the selftest behave under cross-compilation and skip cleanly
when signing keys / bpftool / vmlinux BTF are unavailable, instead of
breaking the global selftest build.
