Merge branch 'Dynptr Verifier Adjustments'

Daniel Rosenberg says:

====================
These patches relax a few verifier requirements around dynptrs.
Patches 1-3 are unchanged from v2, apart from rebasing
Patch 4 is the same as in v1, see
https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/CA+PiJmST4WUH061KaxJ4kRL=fqy3X6+Wgb2E2rrLT5OYjUzxfQ@mail.gmail.com/
Patch 5 adds a test for the change in Patch 4
====================

 not initialized.
 
+2.2.4 __opt Annotation
+-------------------------
+
+This annotation is used to indicate that the buffer associated with an __sz or __szk
+argument may be null. If the function is passed a nullptr in place of the buffer,
+the verifier will not check that length is appropriate for the buffer. The kfunc is
+responsible for checking if this buffer is null before using it.
+
+An example is given below::
+
+        __bpf_kfunc void *bpf_dynptr_slice(..., void *buffer__opt, u32 buffer__szk)
+        {
+        ...
+        }
+
+Here, the buffer may be null. If buffer is not null, it at least of size buffer_szk.
+Either way, the returned buffer is either NULL, or of size buffer_szk. Without this
+annotation, the verifier will reject the program if a null pointer is passed in with
+a nonzero size.
