commit c25b2ae136039ffa820c26138ed4a5e5f3ab3841 upstream. We have introduced a new type to make bpf_reg composable, by allocating bits in the type to represent flags. One of the flags is PTR_MAYBE_NULL which indicates a pointer may be NULL. This patch switches the qualified reg_types to use this flag. The reg_types changed in this patch include: 1. PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE_OR_NULL 2. PTR_TO_SOCKET_OR_NULL 3. PTR_TO_SOCK_COMMON_OR_NULL 4. PTR_TO_TCP_SOCK_OR_NULL 5. PTR_TO_BTF_ID_OR_NULL 6. PTR_TO_MEM_OR_NULL 7. PTR_TO_RDONLY_BUF_OR_NULL 8. PTR_TO_RDWR_BUF_OR_NULL [haoluo: backport notes There was a reg_type_may_be_null() in adjust_ptr_min_max_vals() in 5.15.x, but didn't exist in the upstream commit. This backport converted that reg_type_may_be_null() to type_may_be_null() as well.] Signed-off-by: Hao Luo <haoluo@google.com> Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20211217003152.48334-5-haoluo@google.com Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 5.15.x Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
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.
