mainlining shenanigans
7e40781cc8
This patch adds changes in verifier to make decisions such as granting
of read / write access or enforcement of return code status based on
the program type of the target program while using dynamic program
extension (of type BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT).
The BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT type can be used to extend types such as XDP, SKB
and others. Since the BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT program type on itself is just a
placeholder for those, we need this extended check for those extended
programs to actually work with proper access, while using this option.
Specifically, it introduces following changes:
- may_access_direct_pkt_data:
allow access to packet data based on the target prog
- check_return_code:
enforce return code based on the target prog
(currently, this check is skipped for EXT program)
- check_ld_abs:
check for 'may_access_skb' based on the target prog
- check_map_prog_compatibility:
enforce the map compatibility check based on the target prog
- may_update_sockmap:
allow sockmap update based on the target prog
Some other occurrences of prog->type is left as it without replacing
with the 'resolved' type:
- do_check_common() and check_attach_btf_id():
already have specific logic to handle the EXT prog type
- jit_subprogs() and bpf_check():
Not changed for jit compilation or while inferring env->ops
Next few patches in this series include selftests for some of these cases.

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.
