Readonly and readwrite buffer register states are introduced. Totally four states, PTR_TO_RDONLY_BUF[_OR_NULL] and PTR_TO_RDWR_BUF[_OR_NULL] are supported. As suggested by their respective names, PTR_TO_RDONLY_BUF[_OR_NULL] are for readonly buffers and PTR_TO_RDWR_BUF[_OR_NULL] for read/write buffers. These new register states will be used by later bpf map element iterator. New register states share some similarity to PTR_TO_TP_BUFFER as it will calculate accessed buffer size during verification time. The accessed buffer size will be later compared to other metrics during later attach/link_create time. Similar to reg_state PTR_TO_BTF_ID_OR_NULL in bpf iterator programs, PTR_TO_RDONLY_BUF_OR_NULL or PTR_TO_RDWR_BUF_OR_NULL reg_types can be set at prog->aux->bpf_ctx_arg_aux, and bpf verifier will retrieve the values during btf_ctx_access(). Later bpf map element iterator implementation will show how such information will be assigned during target registeration time. The verifier is also enhanced such that PTR_TO_RDONLY_BUF can be passed to ARG_PTR_TO_MEM[_OR_NULL] helper argument, and PTR_TO_RDWR_BUF can be passed to ARG_PTR_TO_MEM[_OR_NULL] or ARG_PTR_TO_UNINIT_MEM.

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.
