Alexei Starovoitov f4efc73b1e Merge branch 'introduce-kfuncs-for-memory-reads-into-dynptrs'
Mykyta Yatsenko says:

====================
Introduce kfuncs for memory reads into dynptrs

From: Mykyta Yatsenko <yatsenko@meta.com>

This patch adds new kfuncs that enable reading variable-length
user or kernel data directly into dynptrs.
These kfuncs provide a way to perform dynamically-sized reads
while maintaining memory safety. Unlike existing
`bpf_probe_read_{user|kernel}` APIs, which are limited to constant-sized
reads, these new kfuncs allow for more flexible data access.

v4 -> v5
 * Fix pointers annotations, use __user where necessary, cast where needed

v3 -> v4
 * Added pid filtering in selftests

v2 -> v3
 * Add KF_TRUSTED_ARGS for kfuncs that take pointer to task_struct
 as an argument
 * Remove checks for non-NULL task, where it was not necessary
 * Added comments on constants used in selftests, etc.

v1 -> v2
 * Renaming helper functions to use "user_str" instead of "user_data_str"
 suffix

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 reStructuredText 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.
