[PATCH bpf-next v2 1/2] bpf: limit bpf_core_types_are_compat() recursion

[Matteo Croce]

From: Matteo Croce <mcroce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

In userspace, bpf_core_types_are_compat() is a recursive function which
can't be put in the kernel as is.
Limit the recursion depth to 2, to avoid potential stack overflows
in kernel.

+ * are completely ignored. Compatibility rules are as follows:
+ *   - any two STRUCTs/UNIONs/FWDs/ENUMs/INTs are considered compatible, but
+ *     kind should match for local and target types (i.e., STRUCT is not
+ *     compatible with UNION);
+ *   - for ENUMs, the size is ignored;
+ *   - for INT, size and signedness are ignored;
+ *   - for ARRAY, dimensionality is ignored, element types are checked for
+ *     compatibility recursively;
+ *   - CONST/VOLATILE/RESTRICT modifiers are ignored;
+ *   - TYPEDEFs/PTRs are compatible if types they pointing to are compatible;
+ *   - FUNC_PROTOs are compatible if they have compatible signature: same
+ *     number of input args and compatible return and argument types.
+ * These rules are not set in stone and probably will be adjusted as we get
+ * more experience with using BPF CO-RE relocations.
