The bpf helpers bpf_this_cpu_ptr() and bpf_per_cpu_ptr() are re-purposed for allocated percpu objects. For an allocated percpu obj, the reg type is 'PTR_TO_BTF_ID | MEM_PERCPU | MEM_RCU'. The return type for these two re-purposed helpera is 'PTR_TO_MEM | MEM_RCU | MEM_ALLOC'. The MEM_ALLOC allows that the per-cpu data can be read and written. Since the memory allocator bpf_mem_alloc() returns a ptr to a percpu ptr for percpu data, the first argument of bpf_this_cpu_ptr() and bpf_per_cpu_ptr() is patched with a dereference before passing to the helper func.

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.
