btf->struct_meta_tab is populated by btf_parse_struct_metas in btf.c.
There, a BTF record is created for any type containing a spin_lock or
any next-gen datastructure node/head.
Currently, for non-MAP_VALUE types, reg_btf_record will only search for
a record using struct_meta_tab if the reg->type exactly matches
(PTR_TO_BTF_ID | MEM_ALLOC). This exact match is too strict: an
"allocated obj" type - returned from bpf_obj_new - might pick up other
flags while working its way through the program.
Loosen the check to be exact for base_type and just use MEM_ALLOC mask
for type_flag.
This patch is marked Fixes as the original intent of reg_btf_record was
unlikely to have been to fail finding btf_record for valid alloc obj
types with additional flags, some of which (e.g. PTR_UNTRUSTED)
are valid register type states for alloc obj independent of this series.
However, I didn't find a specific broken repro case outside of this
series' added functionality, so it's possible that nothing was
triggering this logic error before.

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.
