    bpf: Support readonly/readwrite buffers in verifier · afbf21dc
    Yonghong Song 提交于
    Readonly and readwrite buffer register states
    are introduced. Totally four states,
    PTR_TO_RDONLY_BUF[_OR_NULL] and PTR_TO_RDWR_BUF[_OR_NULL]
    are supported. As suggested by their respective
    names, PTR_TO_RDONLY_BUF[_OR_NULL] are for
    readonly buffers and PTR_TO_RDWR_BUF[_OR_NULL]
    for read/write buffers.
    
    These new register states will be used
    by later bpf map element iterator.
    
    New register states share some similarity to
    PTR_TO_TP_BUFFER as it will calculate accessed buffer
    size during verification time. The accessed buffer
    size will be later compared to other metrics during
    later attach/link_create time.
    
    Similar to reg_state PTR_TO_BTF_ID_OR_NULL in bpf
    iterator programs, PTR_TO_RDONLY_BUF_OR_NULL or
    PTR_TO_RDWR_BUF_OR_NULL reg_types can be set at
    prog->aux->bpf_ctx_arg_aux, and bpf verifier will
    retrieve the values during btf_ctx_access().
    Later bpf map element iterator implementation
    will show how such information will be assigned
    during target registeration time.
    
    The verifier is also enhanced such that PTR_TO_RDONLY_BUF
    can be passed to ARG_PTR_TO_MEM[_OR_NULL] helper argument, and
    PTR_TO_RDWR_BUF can be passed to ARG_PTR_TO_MEM[_OR_NULL] or
    ARG_PTR_TO_UNINIT_MEM.
