From: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@xxxxxxxxxx> The verifier rejects the code: bpf_strncmp(task->comm, 16, "my_task"); with the message: 16: (85) call bpf_strncmp#182 R1 type=trusted_ptr_ expected=fp, pkt, pkt_meta, map_key, map_value, mem, ringbuf_mem, buf Teach the verifier that such access pattern is safe. Do not allow untrusted and legacy ptr_to_btf_id to be passed into helpers.
