[PATCH bpf-next 4/6] bpf: override the meaning of ARG_PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE for sockmap and sockhash

[Lorenz Bauer]

The verifier assumes that map values are simple blobs of memory, and
therefore treats ARG_PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE, etc. as such. However, there are
map types where this isn't true. For example, sockmap and sockhash store
sockets. In general this isn't a big problem: we can just
write helpers that explicitly requests PTR_TO_SOCKET instead of
ARG_PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE.

The one exception are the standard map helpers like map_update_elem,
map_lookup_elem, etc. Here it would be nice we could overload the
function prototype for different kinds of maps. Unfortunately, this
isn't entirely straight forward:
We only know the type of the map once we have resolved meta->map_ptr
in check_func_arg. This means we can't swap out the prototype
in check_helper_call until we're half way through the function.

Instead, modify check_func_arg to treat ARG_PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE* to
mean "the native type for the map" instead of "pointer to memory"
for sockmap and sockhash. This means we don't have to modify the
function prototype at all
