[v9,bpf-next,3/9] bpf: Introduce KF_ARG_PTR_TO_CONST_STR

Commit Message

Song Liu Nov. 3, 2023, 7:01 p.m. UTC

Similar to ARG_PTR_TO_CONST_STR for BPF helpers, KF_ARG_PTR_TO_CONST_STR
specifies kfunc args that point to const strings. Annotation "__str" is
used to specify kfunc arg of type KF_ARG_PTR_TO_CONST_STR. Also, add
documentation for the "__str" annotation.

bpf_get_file_xattr() will be the first kfunc that uses this type.

+2.2.5 __str Annotation
+----------------------------
+This annotation is used to indicate that the argument is a constant string.
+
+An example is given below::
+
+        __bpf_kfunc bpf_get_file_xattr(..., const char *name__str, ...)
+        {
+        ...
+        }
+
+In this case, ``bpf_get_file_xattr()`` can be called as::
+
+        bpf_get_file_xattr(..., "xattr_name", ...);
+
+Or::
+
+        const char name[] = "xattr_name";  /* This need to be global */
+        int BPF_PROG(...)
+        {
+                ...
+                bpf_get_file_xattr(..., name, ...);
+                ...
+        }
