# v1 -> v2

- Updated the refcounting for task_struct and simplified conversion
of fd -> struct pid.
- Some fixes suggested by Martin and Andrii, notably:
* long return type for the bpf_task_storage_delete helper (update
for bpf_inode_storage_delete will be sent separately).
* Remove extra nullness check to task_storage_ptr in map syscall
ops.
* Changed the argument signature of the BPF helpers to use
task_struct pointer in uapi headers.
* Remove unnecessary verifier logic for the bpf_get_current_task_btf
helper.
* Split the changes for bpftool and libbpf.
- Exercised syscall operations for local storage (kept a simpler verison
in test_local_storage.c, the eventual goal will be to update
sk_storage_map.c for all local storage types).
- Formatting fixes + Rebase.

We already have socket and inode local storage since [1]

This patch series:

* Implements bpf_local_storage for task_struct.
* Implements the bpf_get_current_task_btf helper which returns a BTF
pointer to the current task. Not only is this generally cleaner
(reading from the task_struct currently requires BPF_CORE_READ), it
also allows the BTF pointer to be used in task_local_storage helpers.
* In order to implement this helper, a RET_PTR_TO_BTF_ID is introduced
which works similar to RET_PTR_TO_BTF_ID_OR_NULL but does not require
a nullness check.
* Implements a detection in selftests which uses the
task local storage to deny a running executable from unlinking itself.
