Alexei Starovoitov 4153b89b41 Merge branch 'refactor-check_func_arg'
Lorenz Bauer says:

====================
Changes in v4:
- Output the desired type on BTF ID mismatch (Martin)

Changes in v3:
- Fix BTF_ID_LIST_SINGLE if BTF is disabled (Martin)
- Drop incorrect arg_btf_id in bpf_sk_storage.c (Martin)
- Check for arg_btf_id in check_func_proto (Martin)
- Drop incorrect PTR_TO_BTF_ID from fullsock_types (Martin)
- Introduce btf_seq_file_ids in bpf_trace.c to reduce duplication

Changes in v2:
- Make the series stand alone (Martin)
- Drop incorrect BTF_SET_START fix (Andrii)
- Only support a single BTF ID per argument (Martin)
- Introduce BTF_ID_LIST_SINGLE macro (Andrii)
- Skip check_ctx_reg iff register is NULL
- Change output of check_reg_type slightly, to avoid touching tests

Original cover letter:

Currently, check_func_arg has this pretty gnarly if statement that
compares the valid arg_type with the actualy reg_type. Sprinkled
in-between are checks for register_is_null, to short circuit these
tests if we're dealing with a nullable arg_type. There is also some
code for later bounds / access checking hidden away in there.

This series of patches refactors the function into something like this:

   if (reg_is_null && arg_type_is_nullable)
     skip type checking

   do type checking, including BTF validation

   do bounds / access checking

The type checking is now table driven, which makes it easy to extend
the acceptable types. Maybe more importantly, using a table makes it
easy to provide more helpful verifier output (see the last patch).

README

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.
