Function prototypes using ARG_PTR_TO_BTF_ID currently use two ways to signal which BTF IDs are acceptable. First, bpf_func_proto.btf_id is an array of IDs, one for each argument. This array is only accessed up to the highest numbered argument that uses ARG_PTR_TO_BTF_ID and may therefore be less than five arguments long. It usually points at a BTF_ID_LIST. Second, check_btf_id is a function pointer that is called by the verifier if present. It gets the actual BTF ID of the register, and the argument number we're currently checking. It turns out that the only user check_arg_btf_id ignores the argument, and is simply used to check whether the BTF ID has a struct sock_common at it's start. Replace both of these mechanisms with an explicit BTF ID for each argument in a function proto. Thanks to btf_struct_ids_match this is very flexible: check_arg_btf_id can be replaced by requiring struct sock_common.

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.
