bpf: Support __uptr type tag in BTF
This patch introduces the "__uptr" type tag to BTF. It is to define a pointer pointing to the user space memory. This patch adds BTF logic to pass the "__uptr" type tag. btf_find_kptr() is reused for the "__uptr" tag. The "__uptr" will only be supported in the map_value of the task storage map. However, btf_parse_struct_meta() also uses btf_find_kptr() but it is not interested in "__uptr". This patch adds a "field_mask" argument to btf_find_kptr() which will return BTF_FIELD_IGNORE if the caller is not interested in a “__uptr” field. btf_parse_kptr() is also reused to parse the uptr. The btf_check_and_fixup_fields() is changed to do extra checks on the uptr to ensure that its struct size is not larger than PAGE_SIZE. It is not clear how a uptr pointing to a CO-RE supported kernel struct will be used, so it is also not allowed now. Signed-off-by:Kui-Feng Lee <thinker.li@gmail.com> Signed-off-by:
