Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi 6fceea0fa5 bpf: Transfer RCU lock state between subprog calls
Allow transferring an imbalanced RCU lock state between subprog calls
during verification. This allows patterns where a subprog call returns
with an RCU lock held, or a subprog call releases an RCU lock held by
the caller. Currently, the verifier would end up complaining if the RCU
lock is not released when processing an exit from a subprog, which is
non-ideal if its execution is supposed to be enclosed in an RCU read
section of the caller.

Instead, simply only check whether we are processing exit for frame#0
and do not complain on an active RCU lock otherwise. We only need to
update the check when processing BPF_EXIT insn, as copy_verifier_state
is already set up to do the right thing.

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.
