From: Feng Zhou <zhoufeng.zf@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

When access traced function arguments with type is u32*, bpf verifier failed.
Because u32 have typedef, needs to skip modifier. Add btf_type_is_modifier in
is_int_ptr. Add a selftest to check it.

Feng Zhou (2):
bpf/btf: Fix is_int_ptr()
selftests/bpf: Add test to access u32 ptr argument in tracing program

Changelog:
v2->v3: Addressed comments from jirka
