This patch adds verifier support for PTR_TO_BTF_ID return type of kfunc
to be a reference, by reusing acquire_reference_state/release_reference
support for existing in-kernel bpf helpers.
We make use of the three kfunc types:
- BTF_KFUNC_TYPE_ACQUIRE
Return true if kfunc_btf_id is an acquire kfunc. This will
acquire_reference_state for the returned PTR_TO_BTF_ID (this is the
only allow return value). Note that acquire kfunc must always return a
PTR_TO_BTF_ID{_OR_NULL}, otherwise the program is rejected.
- BTF_KFUNC_TYPE_RELEASE
Return true if kfunc_btf_id is a release kfunc. This will release the
reference to the passed in PTR_TO_BTF_ID which has a reference state
(from earlier acquire kfunc).
The btf_check_func_arg_match returns the regno (of argument register,
hence > 0) if the kfunc is a release kfunc, and a proper referenced
PTR_TO_BTF_ID is being passed to it.
This is similar to how helper call check uses bpf_call_arg_meta to
store the ref_obj_id that is later used to release the reference.
Similar to in-kernel helper, we only allow passing one referenced
PTR_TO_BTF_ID as an argument. It can also be passed in to normal
kfunc, but in case of release kfunc there must always be one
PTR_TO_BTF_ID argument that is referenced.
- BTF_KFUNC_TYPE_RET_NULL
For kfunc returning PTR_TO_BTF_ID, tells if it can be NULL, hence
force caller to mark the pointer not null (using check) before
accessing it. Note that taking into account the case fixed by commit

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.
