BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_STORAGE maps are special in a way that the access from the bpf program side is lookup-free. That means the result is guaranteed to be a valid pointer to the cgroup storage; no NULL-check is required. This patch introduces BPF_PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE return type, which is required to cause the verifier accept programs, which are not checking the map value pointer for being NULL.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
