bpf: Mark OBJ_RELEASE argument as MEM_RCU when possible
In previous selftests/bpf patch, we have p = bpf_percpu_obj_new(struct val_t); if (!p) goto out; p1 = bpf_kptr_xchg(&e->pc, p); if (p1) { /* race condition */ bpf_percpu_obj_drop(p1); } p = e->pc; if (!p) goto out; After bpf_kptr_xchg(), we need to re-read e->pc into 'p'. This is due to that the second argument of bpf_kptr_xchg() is marked OBJ_RELEASE and it will be marked as invalid after the call. So after bpf_kptr_xchg(), 'p' is an unknown scalar, and the bpf program needs to reread from the map value. This patch checks if the 'p' has type MEM_ALLOC and MEM_PERCPU, and if 'p' is RCU protected. If this is the case, 'p' can be marked as MEM_RCU. MEM_ALLOC needs to be removed since 'p' is not an owning reference any more. Such a change makes re-read from the map value unnecessary. Note that re-reading 'e->pc' after bpf_kptr_xchg() might get a different value from 'p' if immediately before 'p = e->pc', another cpu may do another bpf_kptr_xchg() and swap in another value into 'e->pc'. If this is the case, then 'p = e->pc' may get either 'p' or another value, and race condition already exists. So removing direct re-reading seems fine too.
