BPF helpers can associate two adjacent arguments together to pass memory of certain size, using ARG_PTR_TO_MEM and ARG_CONST_SIZE arguments. Since we don't use bpf_func_proto for kfunc, we need to leverage BTF to implement similar support. The ARG_CONST_SIZE processing for helpers is refactored into a common check_mem_size_reg helper that is shared with kfunc as well. kfunc ptr_to_mem support follows logic similar to global functions, where verification is done as if pointer is not null, even when it may be null. This leads to a simple to follow rule for writing kfunc: always check the argument pointer for NULL, except when it is PTR_TO_CTX. Also, the PTR_TO_CTX case is also only safe when the helper expecting pointer to program ctx is not exposed to other programs where same struct is not ctx type. In that case, the type check will fall through to other cases and would permit passing other types of pointers, possibly NULL at runtime. Currently, we require the size argument to be suffixed with "__sz" in the parameter name. This information is then recorded in kernel BTF and verified during function argument checking. In the future we can use BTF tagging instead, and modify the kernel function definitions. This will be a purely kernel-side change. This allows us to have some form of backwards compatibility for structures that are passed in to the kernel function with their size, and allow variable length structures to be passed in if they are accompanied by a 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.
