Mykyta Yatsenko says:

====================
The BPF verifier validates pointers to special map fields (timers,
workqueues, task_work) through separate functions that share nearly
identical logic. This creates code duplication because of the
inconsistent data structure layout in struct bpf_call_arg_meta struct
bpf_kfunc_call_arg_meta.

This series contains 2 commits:

1. Introduces struct bpf_map_desc to provide a unified representation
for map pointer and uid tracking. Previously, bpf_call_arg_meta used
separate map_ptr and map_uid fields while bpf_kfunc_call_arg_metaused an
anonymous inline struct. This inconsistency made it harder to share
validation code between the two paths.

2. Consolidates the validation logic for BPF_TIMER, BPF_WORKQUEUE, and
BPF_TASK_WORK field types into a single check_map_field_pointer()
function. This eliminates process_wq_func() and process_task_work_func()
entirely, and simplifies process_timer_func() to just the PREEMPT_RT
check before calling the unified validation. The result is fewer
lines of code with clearer structure for future maintenance.
