Alexei Starovoitov 1b27702c14 bpf: Check types of arguments passed into helpers ... Introduce new helper that reuses existing skb perf_event output implementation, but can be called from raw_tracepoint programs that receive 'struct sk_buff *' as tracepoint argument or can walk other kernel data structures to skb pointer. In order to do that teach verifier to resolve true C types of bpf helpers into in-kernel BTF ids. The type of kernel pointer passed by raw tracepoint into bpf program will be tracked by the verifier all the way until it's passed into helper function. For example: kfree_skb() kernel function calls trace_kfree_skb(skb, loc); bpf programs receives that skb pointer and may eventually pass it into bpf_skb_output() bpf helper which in-kernel is implemented via bpf_skb_event_output() kernel function. Its first argument in the kernel is 'struct sk_buff *'. The verifier makes sure that types match all the way.
