Sleepable programs currently do not have access to any ringbuffer and since the perf ring buffer is a per-cpu map, it would not be trivial to enable for sleepable programs. Our specific use-case is to use the bpf_ima_inode_hash helper and write the hash to a ring buffer from a sleepable LSM hook. This series allows the BPF ringbuffer to be used in sleepable programs (tracing and lsm). Since the helper prototypes were already exposed the only change required was have the verifier allow BPF_MAP_TYPE_RINGBUF for sleepable programs. The ima test is also modified to use the ringbuffer instead of global variables. Based on dicussions we had over the BPF office hours and enabling all the possible debug options, I could not find any issues or warnings when using the ring buffer from sleepable programs.
