BPF_KPTR_PERCPU represents a percpu field type like below
struct val_t {
... fields ...
};
struct t {
...
struct val_t __percpu_kptr *percpu_data_ptr;
...
};
where
#define __percpu_kptr __attribute__((btf_type_tag("percpu_kptr")))
While BPF_KPTR_REF points to a trusted kernel object or a trusted
local object, BPF_KPTR_PERCPU points to a trusted local
percpu object.
This patch added basic support for BPF_KPTR_PERCPU
related to percpu_kptr field parsing, recording and free operations.
BPF_KPTR_PERCPU also supports the same map types
as BPF_KPTR_REF does.
Note that unlike a local kptr, it is possible that
a BPF_KTPR_PERCPU struct may not contain any
special fields like other kptr, bpf_spin_lock, bpf_list_head, etc.

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.
