There are some common properties shared between bpf reg, ret and arg values. For instance, a value may be a NULL pointer, or a pointer to a read-only memory. Previously, to express these properties, enumeration was used. For example, in order to test whether a reg value can be NULL, reg_type_may_be_null() simply enumerates all types that are possibly NULL. The problem of this approach is that it's not scalable and causes a lot of duplication. These properties can be combined, for example, a type could be either MAYBE_NULL or RDONLY, or both. This patch series rewrites the layout of reg_type, arg_type and ret_type, so that common properties can be extracted and represented as composable flag. For example, one can write ARG_PTR_TO_MEM | PTR_MAYBE_NULL which is equivalent to the previous ARG_PTR_TO_MEM_OR_NULL The type ARG_PTR_TO_MEM are called "base type" in this patch. Base types can be extended with flags. A flag occupies the higher bits while base types sits in the lower bits. This patch in particular sets up a set of macro for this purpose. The following patches will rewrite arg_types, ret_types and reg_types respectively.

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.
