bpf: Allow local kptrs to be exchanged via bpf_kptr_xchg
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The previous patch added necessary plumbing for verifier and runtime to
know what to do with non-kernel PTR_TO_BTF_IDs in map values, but didn't
provide any way to get such local kptrs into a map value. This patch
modifies verifier handling of bpf_kptr_xchg to allow MEM_ALLOC kptr
types.

check_reg_type is modified accept MEM_ALLOC-flagged input to
bpf_kptr_xchg despite such types not being in btf_ptr_types. This could
have been done with a MAYBE_MEM_ALLOC equivalent to MAYBE_NULL, but
bpf_kptr_xchg is the only helper that I can forsee using
MAYBE_MEM_ALLOC, so keep it special-cased for now.

The verifier tags bpf_kptr_xchg retval MEM_ALLOC if and only if the BTF
associated with the retval is not kernel BTF.
