commit 48946bd6a5 upstream.
We have introduced a new type to make bpf_arg composable, by
reserving high bits of bpf_arg to represent flags of a type.
One of the flags is PTR_MAYBE_NULL which indicates a pointer
may be NULL. When applying this flag to an arg_type, it means
the arg can take NULL pointer. This patch switches the
qualified arg_types to use this flag. The arg_types changed
in this patch include:
1. ARG_PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE_OR_NULL
2. ARG_PTR_TO_MEM_OR_NULL
3. ARG_PTR_TO_CTX_OR_NULL
4. ARG_PTR_TO_SOCKET_OR_NULL
5. ARG_PTR_TO_ALLOC_MEM_OR_NULL
6. ARG_PTR_TO_STACK_OR_NULL
This patch does not eliminate the use of these arg_types, instead
it makes them an alias to the 'ARG_XXX | PTR_MAYBE_NULL'.

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.
