Linux kernel source tree
03b77e17ae
__kptr meant to store PTR_UNTRUSTED kernel pointers inside bpf maps. The concept felt useful, but didn't get much traction, since bpf_rdonly_cast() was added soon after and bpf programs received a simpler way to access PTR_UNTRUSTED kernel pointers without going through restrictive __kptr usage. Rename __kptr_ref -> __kptr and __kptr -> __kptr_untrusted to indicate its intended usage. The main goal of __kptr_untrusted was to read/write such pointers directly while bpf_kptr_xchg was a mechanism to access refcnted kernel pointers. The next patch will allow RCU protected __kptr access with direct read. At that point __kptr_untrusted will be deprecated.

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.
