Joe Stringer fd978bf7fd bpf: Add reference tracking to verifier
Allow helper functions to acquire a reference and return it into a
register. Specific pointer types such as the PTR_TO_SOCKET will
implicitly represent such a reference. The verifier must ensure that
these references are released exactly once in each path through the
program.

To achieve this, this commit assigns an id to the pointer and tracks it
in the 'bpf_func_state', then when the function or program exits,
verifies that all of the acquired references have been freed. When the
pointer is passed to a function that frees the reference, it is removed
from the 'bpf_func_state` and all existing copies of the pointer in
registers are marked invalid.

README

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
