bpf: Introduce function-by-function verification
New llvm and old llvm with libbpf help produce BTF that distinguish global and
static functions. Unlike arguments of static function the arguments of global
functions cannot be removed or optimized away by llvm. The compiler has to use
exactly the arguments specified in a function prototype. The argument type
information allows the verifier validate each global function independently.
For now only supported argument types are pointer to context and scalars. In
the future pointers to structures, sizes, pointer to packet data can be
supported as well. Consider the following example:
static int f1(int ...)
{
...
}
int f3(int b);
int f2(int a)
{
f1(a) + f3(a);
}
int f3(int b)
{
...
}
int main(...)
{
f1(...) + f2(...) + f3(...);
}
The verifier will start its safety checks from the first global function f2().
It will recursively descend into f1() because it's static. Then it will check
that arguments match for the f3() invocation
