Alexei Starovoitov 68a4154490 Merge branch 'enable-writing-xattr-from-bpf-programs'
Song Liu says:

====================
Enable writing xattr from BPF programs

Add support to set and remove xattr from BPF program. Also add
security.bpf. xattr name prefix.

kfuncs are added to set and remove xattrs with security.bpf. name
prefix. Update kfuncs bpf_get_[file|dentry]_xattr to read xattrs
with security.bpf. name prefix. Note that BPF programs can read
user. xattrs, but not write and remove them.

To pick the right version of kfunc to use, a remap logic is added to
btf_kfunc_id_set. This helps move some kfunc specific logic off the
verifier core code. Also use this remap logic to select
bpf_dynptr_from_skb or bpf_dynptr_from_skb_rdonly.

Cover letter of v1 and v2:

Follow up discussion in LPC 2024 [1], that we need security.bpf xattr
prefix. This set adds "security.bpf." xattr name prefix, and allows
bpf kfuncs bpf_get_[file|dentry]_xattr() to read these xattrs.

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 reStructuredText 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.
