Dave Marchevsky 4d585f48ee bpf: Remove anonymous union in bpf_kfunc_call_arg_meta
For kfuncs like bpf_obj_drop and bpf_refcount_acquire - which take
user-defined types as input - the verifier needs to track the specific
type passed in when checking a particular kfunc call. This requires
tracking (btf, btf_id) tuple. In commit 7c50b1cb76
("bpf: Add bpf_refcount_acquire kfunc") I added an anonymous union with
inner structs named after the specific kfuncs tracking this information,
with the goal of making it more obvious which kfunc this data was being
tracked / expected to be tracked on behalf of.

In a recent series adding a new user of this tuple, Alexei mentioned
that he didn't like this union usage as it doesn't really help with
readability or bug-proofing ([0]). In an offline convo we agreed to
have the tuple be fields (arg_btf, arg_btf_id), with comments in
bpf_kfunc_call_arg_meta definition enumerating the uses of the fields by
kfunc-specific handling logic. Such a pattern is used by struct
bpf_reg_state without trouble.

Accordingly, this patch removes the anonymous union in favor of arg_btf
and arg_btf_id fields and comment enumerating their current uses. The
patch also removes struct btf_and_id, which was only being used by the
removed union's inner structs.

This is a mechanical change, existing linked_list and rbtree tests will
validate that correct (btf, btf_id) are being passed.

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.
