[ Upstream commit b239da34203f49c40b5d656220c39647c3ff0b3c ] For a lot of use cases in future patches, we will want to modify the state of registers part of some same 'group' (e.g. same ref_obj_id). It won't just be limited to releasing reference state, but setting a type flag dynamically based on certain actions, etc. Hence, we need a way to easily pass a callback to the function that iterates over all registers in current bpf_verifier_state in all frames upto (and including) the curframe. While in C++ we would be able to easily use a lambda to pass state and the callback together, sadly we aren't using C++ in the kernel. The next best thing to avoid defining a function for each case seems like statement expressions in GNU C. The kernel already uses them heavily, hence they can passed to the macro in the style of a lambda. The statement expression will then be substituted in the for loop bodies. Variables __state and __reg are set to current bpf_func_state and reg for each invocation of the expression inside the passed in verifier state. Then, convert mark_ptr_or_null_regs, clear_all_pkt_pointers, release_reference, find_good_pkt_pointers, find_equal_scalars to use bpf_for_each_reg_in_vstate.

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.
