BPF_PTR_POISON was added in commit c0a5a21c25f37 ("bpf: Allow storing
referenced kptr in map") to denote a bpf_func_proto btf_id which the
verifier will replace with a dynamically-determined btf_id at verification
time.
This patch adds verifier 'poison' functionality to BPF_PTR_POISON in
order to prepare for expanded use of the value to poison ret- and
arg-btf_id in ongoing work, namely rbtree and linked list patchsets
[0, 1]. Specifically, when the verifier checks helper calls, it assumes
that BPF_PTR_POISON'ed ret type will be replaced with a valid type before
- or in lieu of - the default ret_btf_id logic. Similarly for arg btf_id.
If poisoned btf_id reaches default handling block for either, consider
this a verifier internal error and fail verification. Otherwise a helper
w/ poisoned btf_id but no verifier logic replacing the type will cause a
crash as the invalid pointer is dereferenced.
Also move BPF_PTR_POISON to existing include/linux/posion.h header and
remove unnecessary shift.

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.
