Overall it looks great.
Instead of above, how about the following instead:

diff --git a/kernel/bpf/verifier.c b/kernel/bpf/verifier.c
index 0b9da95331d7..cd08167dc347 100644
--- a/kernel/bpf/verifier.c
+++ b/kernel/bpf/verifier.c
@@ -10775,7 +10775,7 @@ static int check_kfunc_args(struct

                        if (!is_kfunc_trusted_args(meta) && !is_kfunc_rcu(meta))
                                break;

-                       if (!is_trusted_reg(reg)) {
+                       if (!is_trusted_reg(reg) &&
!reg2btf_ids[base_type(reg->type)]) {


This way we won't need to list every convertible type in is_trusted_reg.

I'm a bit hesitant to put reg2btf_ids[] check directly into is_trusted_reg().
Maybe it's ok, but it needs more analysis.
