The check_attach_btf_id() function really does three things: 1. It performs a bunch of checks on the program to ensure that the attachment is valid. 2. It stores a bunch of state about the attachment being requested in the verifier environment and struct bpf_prog objects. 3. It allocates a trampoline for the attachment. This patch splits out (1.) and (3.) into separate functions which will perform the checks, but return the computed values instead of directly modifying the environment. This is done in preparation for reusing the checks when the actual attachment is happening, which will allow tracing programs to have multiple (compatible) attachments. This also fixes a bug where a bunch of checks were skipped if a trampoline already existed for the tracing target.

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.
