In global bpf functions recognize btf_decl_tag("arg:arena") as PTR_TO_ARENA.
Note, when the verifier sees:
__weak void foo(struct bar *p)
it recognizes 'p' as PTR_TO_MEM and 'struct bar' has to be a struct with scalars.
Hence the only way to use arena pointers in global functions is to tag them with "arg:arena".

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.
