From af7ec13833619e17f03aa73a785a2f871da6d66b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yonghong Song Date: Tue, 23 Jun 2020 16:08:09 -0700 Subject: bpf: Add bpf_skc_to_tcp6_sock() helper The helper is used in tracing programs to cast a socket pointer to a tcp6_sock pointer. The return value could be NULL if the casting is illegal. A new helper return type RET_PTR_TO_BTF_ID_OR_NULL is added so the verifier is able to deduce proper return types for the helper. Different from the previous BTF_ID based helpers, the bpf_skc_to_tcp6_sock() argument can be several possible btf_ids. More specifically, all possible socket data structures with sock_common appearing in the first in the memory layout. This patch only added socket types related to tcp and udp. All possible argument btf_id and return value btf_id for helper bpf_skc_to_tcp6_sock() are pre-calculcated and cached. In the future, it is even possible to precompute these btf_id's at kernel build time.
