Added support for pointer to mem register spilling, to allow the verifier to track pointer to valid memory addresses. Such pointers are returned for example by a successful call of the bpf_ringbuf_reserve helper. This patch was suggested as a solution by Yonghong Song.
The SoB should not be in subject line but as part of the commit message instead and with proper name, e.g. Signed-off-by: Gilad Reti <redacted> For subject line, please use a short summary that fits the patch prefixed with the subsystem "bpf: [...]", see also [0] as an example. Thanks. It would be good if you could also add a BPF selftest for this [1].
