[ Upstream commit d384dce281ed1b504fae2e279507827638d56fa3 ]
KPROBE program's user-facing context type is defined as typedef
bpf_user_pt_regs_t. This leads to a problem when trying to passing
kprobe/uprobe/usdt context argument into global subprog, as kernel
always strip away mods and typedefs of user-supplied type, but takes
expected type from bpf_ctx_convert as is, which causes mismatch.
Current way to work around this is to define a fake struct with the same
name as expected typedef:
struct bpf_user_pt_regs_t {};
__noinline my_global_subprog(struct bpf_user_pt_regs_t *ctx) { ... }
This patch fixes the issue by resolving expected type, if it's not
a struct. It still leaves the above work-around working for backwards
compatibility.

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.
