Add enforcement of expected types for context arguments tagged with
arg:ctx (__arg_ctx) tag.
First, any program type will accept generic `void *` context type when
combined with __arg_ctx tag.
Besides accepting "canonical" struct names and `void *`, for a bunch of
program types for which program context is actually a named struct, we
allows a bunch of pragmatic exceptions to match real-world and expected
usage:
- for both kprobes and perf_event we allow `bpf_user_pt_regs_t *` as
canonical context argument type, where `bpf_user_pt_regs_t` is a
*typedef*, not a struct;
- for kprobes, we also always accept `struct pt_regs *`, as that's what
actually is passed as a context to any kprobe program;
- for perf_event, we resolve typedefs (unless it's `bpf_user_pt_regs_t`)
down to actual struct type and accept `struct pt_regs *`, or
`struct user_pt_regs *`, or `struct user_regs_struct *`, depending
on the actual struct type kernel architecture points `bpf_user_pt_regs_t`
typedef to; otherwise, canonical `struct bpf_perf_event_data *` is
expected;
- for raw_tp/raw_tp.w programs, `u64/long *` are accepted, as that's
what's expected with BPF_PROG() usage; otherwise, canonical
`struct bpf_raw_tracepoint_args *` is expected;
- tp_btf supports both `struct bpf_raw_tracepoint_args *` and `u64 *`
formats, both are coded as expections as tp_btf is actually a TRACING
program type, which has no canonical context type;
- iterator programs accept `struct bpf_iter__xxx *` structs, currently
with no further iterator-type specific enforcement;
- fentry/fexit/fmod_ret/lsm/struct_ops all accept `u64 *`;
- classic tracepoint programs, as well as syscall and freplace
programs allow any user-provided type.
In all other cases kernel will enforce exact match of struct name to
expected canonical type. And if user-provided type doesn't match that
expectation, verifier will emit helpful message with expected type name.
Note a bit unnatural way the check is done after processing all the
arguments. This is done to avoid conflict between bpf and bpf-next
trees. Once trees converge, a small follow up patch will place a simple
btf_validate_prog_ctx_type() check into a proper ARG_PTR_TO_CTX branch
(which bpf-next tree patch refactored already), removing duplicated
arg:ctx detection logic.
