For drivers (outside of network), the incoming data is not statically defined in a struct. Most of the time the data buffer is kzalloc-ed and thus we can not rely on eBPF and BTF to explore the data. This commit allows to return an arbitrary memory, previously allocated by the driver. An interesting extra point is that the kfunc can mark the exported memory region as read only or read/write. So, when a kfunc is not returning a pointer to a struct but to a plain type, we can consider it is a valid allocated memory assuming that: - one of the arguments is either called rdonly_buf_size or rdwr_buf_size - and this argument is a const from the caller point of view We can then use this parameter as the size of the allocated memory. The memory is either read-only or read-write based on the name of the size parameter.

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.
