Allow dynamic pointers (struct bpf_dynptr_kern *) to be specified as parameters in kfuncs. Also, ensure that dynamic pointers passed as argument are valid and initialized, are a pointer to the stack, and of the type local. More dynamic pointer types can be supported in the future. To properly detect whether a parameter is of the desired type, introduce the stringify_struct() macro to compare the returned structure name with the desired name. In addition, protect against structure renames, by halting the build with BUILD_BUG_ON(), so that developers have to revisit the code. To check if a dynamic pointer passed to the kfunc is valid and initialized, and if its type is local, export the existing functions is_dynptr_reg_valid_init() and is_dynptr_type_expected().

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.
