Vadim Fedorenko says: ==================== bpf: make trusted args nullable Current verifier checks for the arg to be nullable after checking for certain pointer types. It prevents programs to pass NULL to kfunc args even if they are marked as nullable. This patchset adjusts verifier and changes bpf crypto kfuncs to allow null for IV parameter which is optional for some ciphers. Benchmark shows ~4% improvements when there is no need to initialise 0-sized dynptr. v3: - add special selftest for nullable parameters v2: - adjust kdoc accordingly ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240613211817.1551967-1-vadfed@meta.com Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>
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.
