Rename the BPF verifier `verbose()` to `bpf_verifier_log_write()` and export it, so that other components (in particular, drivers for BPF offload) can reuse the user buffer log to dump error messages at verification time. Renaming `verbose()` was necessary in order to avoid a name so generic to be exported to the global namespace. However to prevent too much pain for backports, the calls to `verbose()` in the kernel BPF verifier were not changed. Instead, use function aliasing to make `verbose` point to `bpf_verifier_log_write`. Another solution could consist in making a wrapper around `verbose()`, but since it is a variadic function, I don't see a clean way without creating two identical wrappers, one for the verifier and one to export.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
