mainline inclusion from mainline-5.17-rc1 commit 8c42d2fa category: feature bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I5EUVD CVE: NA Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=8c42d2fa4eeab6c37a0b1b1aa7a2715248ef4f34 ------------------------------------------------- LLVM patches ([1] for clang, [2] and [3] for BPF backend) added support for btf_type_tag attributes. This patch added support for the kernel. The main motivation for btf_type_tag is to bring kernel annotations __user, __rcu etc. to btf. With such information available in btf, bpf verifier can detect mis-usages and reject the program. For example, for __user tagged pointer, developers can then use proper helper like bpf_probe_read_user() etc. to read the data. BTF_KIND_TYPE_TAG may also useful for other tracing facility where instead of to require user to specify kernel/user address type, the kernel can detect it by itself with btf.
