Martin KaFai Lau says: ==================== This set allows networking prog type to directly read fields from the in-kernel socket type, e.g. "struct tcp_sock". Patch 2 has the details on the use case. v3: - Pass arg_btf_id instead of fn into check_reg_type() in Patch 1 (Lorenz) - Move arg_btf_id from func_proto to struct bpf_reg_types in Patch 2 (Lorenz) - Remove test_sock_fields from .gitignore in Patch 8 (Andrii) - Add tests to have better coverage on the modified helpers (Alexei) Patch 13 is added. - Use "void *sk" as the helper argument in UAPI bpf.h v3: - ARG_PTR_TO_SOCK_COMMON_OR_NULL was attempted in v2. The _OR_NULL was needed because the PTR_TO_BTF_ID could be NULL but note that a could be NULL PTR_TO_BTF_ID is not a scalar NULL to the verifier. "_OR_NULL" implicitly gives an expectation that the helper can take a scalar NULL which does not make sense in most (except one) helpers. Passing scalar NULL should be rejected at the verification time. Thus, this patch uses ARG_PTR_TO_BTF_ID_SOCK_COMMON to specify that the helper can take both the btf-id ptr or the legacy PTR_TO_SOCK_COMMON but not scalar NULL. It requires the func_proto to explicitly specify the arg_btf_id such that there is a very clear expectation that the helper can handle a NULL PTR_TO_BTF_ID. v2: - Add ARG_PTR_TO_SOCK_COMMON_OR_NULL (Lorenz) ==================== Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>
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.
