bpf_rcu_read_lock/unlock() are only available in clang compiled kernels. Lack of such key mechanism makes it impossible for sleepable bpf programs to use RCU pointers. Allow bpf_rcu_read_lock/unlock() in GCC compiled kernels (though GCC doesn't support btf_type_tag yet) and allowlist certain field dereferences in important data structures like tast_struct, cgroup, socket that are used by sleepable programs either as RCU pointer or full trusted pointer (which is valid outside of RCU CS). Use BTF_TYPE_SAFE_RCU and BTF_TYPE_SAFE_TRUSTED macros for such tagging. They will be removed once GCC supports btf_type_tag. With that refactor check_ptr_to_btf_access(). Make it strict in enforcing PTR_TRUSTED and PTR_UNTRUSTED while deprecating old PTR_TO_BTF_ID without modifier flags. There is a chance that this strict enforcement might break existing programs (especially on GCC compiled kernels), but this cleanup has to start sooner than later. Note PTR_TO_CTX access still yields old deprecated PTR_TO_BTF_ID. Once it's converted to strict PTR_TRUSTED or PTR_UNTRUSTED the kfuncs and helpers will be able to default to KF_TRUSTED_ARGS. KF_RCU will remain as a weaker version of KF_TRUSTED_ARGS where obj refcnt could be 0. Adjust rcu_read_lock selftest to run on gcc and clang compiled kernels.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
