The second argument of the bpf_kptr_xchg() helper function is
ARG_PTR_TO_BTF_ID_OR_NULL. A recent patch fixed a bug whereby the
verifier would fail with an internal error message if a program invoked
the helper with a PTR_TO_BTF_ID | PTR_MAYBE_NULL register. This testcase
adds some testcases to ensure that it fails gracefully moving forward.
Before the fix, these testcases would have failed an error resembling
the following:
; p = bpf_kfunc_call_test_acquire(&(unsigned long){0});
99: (7b) *(u64 *)(r10 -16) = r7 ; frame1: ...
100: (bf) r1 = r10 ; frame1: ...
101: (07) r1 += -16 ; frame1: ...
; p = bpf_kfunc_call_test_acquire(&(unsigned long){0});
102: (85) call bpf_kfunc_call_test_acquire#13908
; frame1: R0_w=ptr_or_null_prog_test_ref_kfunc...
; p = bpf_kptr_xchg(&v->ref_ptr, p);
103: (bf) r1 = r6 ; frame1: ...
104: (bf) r2 = r0
; frame1: R0_w=ptr_or_null_prog_test_ref_kfunc...
105: (85) call bpf_kptr_xchg#194
verifier internal error: invalid PTR_TO_BTF_ID register for type match

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
