This set introduces support for managing IRQ state from BPF programs.
Two new kfuncs, bpf_local_irq_save, and bpf_local_irq_restore are
introduced to enable this functionality.
Intended use cases are writing IRQ safe data structures (e.g. memory
allocator) in BPF programs natively, and use in new spin locking
primitives intended to be introduced in the next few weeks.
The set begins with some refactoring patches before the actual
functionality is introduced. First, we rename bpf_reference_state to
bpf_resource_state, and stick to calling pointer resources as actual
references, as the meaning is right now mixed (with lock state
management functions calling acquire_reference_state and
check_reference_leak not considering lock resoures, causing confusion).
The first patch also takes this opportunity to eliminate code
duplication where possible. The second patch resolves an inconsistency
in the same set of functions for managing lock state, in preparation for
later patches that require passing bpf_func_state explicitly to find a
lock state.
Since we now manage locks in bpf_func_state alongside other resources,
this is a good opportunity to consolidate all other resources like RCU
read sections and preempt-disabled section tracking into bpf_func_state
as well, which is what patch 3 achieves.
After this, patch 4 refactors stack slot liveness marking logic to be
shared between dynptr, and iterators, in preparation for introducing
same logic for irq flag object on stack.
Finally, patch 5 and 7 introduce the new kfuncs and their selftests. For
more details, please inspect the patch commit logs. Patch 6 expands
coverage of existing preempt-disable selftest to cover sleepable kfuncs.
