[PATCH bpf-next v4 2/6] bpf/verifier: add bpf_timer as a kfunc capable type

From: Benjamin Tissoires
Date: Fri Mar 15 2024 - 10:30:17 EST


We need to extend the bpf_timer API, but the way forward relies on kfuncs.
So make bpf_timer known for kfuncs from the verifier PoV

Signed-off-by: Benjamin Tissoires <bentiss@xxxxxxxxxx>

changes in v4:
- enforce KF_ARG_PTR_TO_TIMER to be of type PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE

new in v3 (split from v2 02/10)
