bpf/arena: Add kfunc for reserving arena memory
Add a new kfunc for BPF arenas that reserves a region of the mapping
to prevent it from being mapped. These regions serve as guards against
out-of-bounds accesses and are useful for debugging arena-related code.
>From v3 (
20250709015712.97099-1-emil@etsalapatis.com)
------------------------------------------------------
- Added Acked-by tags by Yonghong.
- Replace hardcoded error numbers in selftests (Yonghong).
- Fixed selftest for partially freeing a reserved region (Yonghong).
>From v2 (
20250702003351.197234-1-emil@etsalapatis.com)
------------------------------------------------------
- Removed -EALREADY and replaced with -EINVAL to bring error handling in
line with the rest of the BPF code (Alexei).
>From v1 (
20250620031118.245601-1-emil@etsalapatis.com)
------------------------------------------------------
- Removed the additional guard range tree. Adjusted tests accordingly.
Reserved regions now behave like allocated regions, and can be
unreserved using bpf_arena_free_pages(). They can also be allocated
from userspace through minor faults. It is up to the user to prevent
erroneous frees and/or use the BPF_F_SEGV_ON_FAULT flag to catch
stray userspace accesses (Alexei).
- Changed terminology from guard pages to reserved pages (Alexei,
Kartikeya).
