====================
Enable BPF programs to declare arrays of kptr, bpf_rb_root, and bpf_list_head.
Some types, such as type kptr, bpf_rb_root, and bpf_list_head, are
treated in a special way. Previously, these types could not be the
type of a field in a struct type that is used as the type of a global
variable. They could not be the type of a field in a struct type that
is used as the type of a field in the value type of a map either. They
could not even be the type of array elements. This means that they can
only be the type of global variables or of direct fields in the value
type of a map.
The patch set aims to enable the use of these specific types in arrays
and struct fields, providing flexibility. It examines the types of
global variables or the value types of maps, such as arrays and struct
types, recursively to identify these special types and generate field
information for them.
For example,
...
struct task_struct __kptr *ptr[3];
...
it will create 3 instances of "struct btf_field" in the "btf_record" of
the data section.
[...,
btf_field(offset=0x100, type=BPF_KPTR_REF),
btf_field(offset=0x108, type=BPF_KPTR_REF),
btf_field(offset=0x110, type=BPF_KPTR_REF),
...
]
It creates a record of each of three elements. These three records are
almost identical except their offsets.
Another example is
...
struct A {
...
struct task_struct __kptr *task;
struct bpf_rb_root root;
...
}
struct A foo[2];
it will create 4 records.
[...,
btf_field(offset=0x7100, type=BPF_KPTR_REF),
btf_field(offset=0x7108, type=BPF_RB_ROOT:),
btf_field(offset=0x7200, type=BPF_KPTR_REF),
btf_field(offset=0x7208, type=BPF_RB_ROOT:),
...
]
Assuming that the size of an element/struct A is 0x100 and "foo"
starts at 0x7000, it includes two kptr records at 0x7100 and 0x7200,
and two rbtree root records at 0x7108 and 0x7208.
All these field information will be flatten, for struct types, and
repeated, for arrays.

Changes from v6:
- Return BPF_KPTR_REF from btf_get_field_type() only if var_type is a
struct type.
- Pass btf and type to btf_get_field_type().
Changes from v5:
- Ensure field->offset values of kptrs are advanced correctly from
one nested struct/or array to another.
Changes from v4:
- Return -E2BIG for i == MAX_RESOLVE_DEPTH.
Changes from v3:
- Refactor the common code of btf_find_struct_field() and
btf_find_datasec_var().
- Limit the number of levels looking into a struct types.
Changes from v2:
- Support fields in nested struct type.
- Remove nelems and duplicate field information with offset
adjustments for arrays.
Changes from v1:
- Move the check of element alignment out of btf_field_cmp() to
btf_record_find().
- Change the order of the previous patch 4 "bpf:
check_map_kptr_access() compute the offset from the reg state" as
the patch 7 now.
- Reject BPF_RB_NODE and BPF_LIST_NODE with nelems > 1.
- Rephrase the commit log of the patch "bpf: check_map_access() with
the knowledge of arrays" to clarify the alignment on elements.
