Lift verifier restriction to use BPF_ST_MEM instructions to write to
context data structures. This requires the following changes:
- verifier.c:do_check() for BPF_ST updated to:
- no longer forbid writes to registers of type PTR_TO_CTX;
- track dst_reg type in the env->insn_aux_data[...].ptr_type field
(same way it is done for BPF_STX and BPF_LDX instructions).
- verifier.c:convert_ctx_access() and various callbacks invoked by
it are updated to handled BPF_ST instruction alongside BPF_STX.

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.
