Merge branch 'trusted-ptr_to_btf_id-arg-support-in-global-subprogs'
Andrii Nakryiko says: ==================== Trusted PTR_TO_BTF_ID arg support in global subprogs This patch set follows recent changes that added btf_decl_tag-based argument annotation support for global subprogs. This time we add ability to pass PTR_TO_BTF_ID (BTF-aware kernel pointers) arguments into global subprograms. We support explicitly trusted arguments only, for now. Patch #1 adds logic for arg:trusted tag support on the verifier side. Default semantic of such arguments is non-NULL, enforced on caller side. But patch #2 adds arg:nullable tag that can be combined with arg:trusted to make callee explicitly do the NULL check, which helps implement "optional" PTR_TO_BTF_ID arguments. Patch #3 adds libbpf-side __arg_trusted and __arg_nullable macros. Patch #4 adds a bunch of tests validating __arg_trusted in combination with __arg_nullable. v2->v3: - went back to arg:nullable and __arg_nullable naming; - rebased on latest bpf-next after prepartory patches landed; v1->v2: - added fix up to type enforcement changes, landed earlier; - dropped bpf_core_cast() changes, will post them separately, as they now are not used in added tests; - dropped arg:untrusted support (Alexei); - renamed arg:nullable to arg:maybe_null (Alexei); - and also added task_struct___local flavor tests (Alexei). ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240130000648.2144827-1-andrii@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>
