Typically, verifier should use env->allow_ptr_leaks when invaliding
registers for users that don't have CAP_PERFMON or CAP_SYS_ADMIN to
avoid leaking the pointer value. This is similar in spirit to
c67cae551f0d ("bpf: Tighten ptr_to_btf_id checks."). In a lot of the
existing checks, we know the capabilities are present, hence we don't do
the check.
Instead of being inconsistent in the application of the check, wrap the
action of invalidating a register into a helper named 'mark_invalid_reg'
and use it in a uniform fashion to replace open coded invalidation
operations, so that the check is always made regardless of the call site
and we don't have to remember whether it needs to be done or not for
each case.

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.
