From 744ea4e3885eccb6d332a06fae9eb7420a622c0f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gilad Reti Date: Wed, 13 Jan 2021 07:38:07 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] bpf: Support PTR_TO_MEM{,_OR_NULL} register spilling Add support for pointer to mem register spilling, to allow the verifier to track pointers to valid memory addresses. Such pointers are returned for example by a successful call of the bpf_ringbuf_reserve helper. The patch was partially contributed by CyberArk Software, Inc.
