bpf: Introduce kptr_rcu.
The life time of certain kernel structures like 'struct cgroup' is protected by RCU.
Hence it's safe to dereference them directly from __kptr tagged pointers in bpf maps.
The resulting pointer is MEM_RCU and can be passed to kfuncs that expect KF_RCU.
Derefrence of other kptr-s returns PTR_UNTRUSTED.
For example:
struct map_value {
struct cgroup __kptr *cgrp;
};
SEC("tp_btf/cgroup_mkdir")
int BPF_PROG(test_cgrp_get_ancestors, struct cgroup *cgrp_arg, const char *path)
{
struct cgroup *cg, *cg2;
cg = bpf_cgroup_acquire(cgrp_arg); // cg is PTR_TRUSTED and ref_obj_id > 0
bpf_kptr_xchg(&v->cgrp, cg);
cg2 = v->cgrp; // This is new feature introduced by this patch.
// cg2 is PTR_MAYBE_NULL | MEM_RCU.
// When cg2 != NULL, it's a valid cgroup, but its percpu_ref could be zero
if (cg2)
bpf_cgroup_ancestor(cg2, level); // safe to do.
}
