bpf: mark a NULL kfunc argument precisegrafted
check_kfunc_arg() allows bpf_register_is_null() for nullable arguments w/o marking the underlying scalar register precise. Hence a checkpoint created on such a path would prune against arbitrary scalar value. Fixes: 3bda08b63670 ("bpf: Allow NULL buffers in bpf_dynptr_slice(_rw)") Signed-off-by: Eduard Zingerman <eddyz87@gmail.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260904-register-is-null-precise-fixes-v1-5-0f5a360ff15d@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>

+WMI Driver API
+==============
+
+The WMI driver core supports a more modern bus-based interface for interacting
+with WMI devices, and an older GUID-based interface. The latter interface is
+considered to be deprecated, so new WMI drivers should generally avoid it since
+it has some issues with multiple WMI devices sharing the same GUID.
+The modern bus-based interface instead maps each WMI device to a
+:c:type:`struct wmi_device <wmi_device>`, so it supports WMI devices sharing the
+same GUID. Drivers can then register a :c:type:`struct wmi_driver <wmi_driver>`
+which will be bound to compatible WMI devices by the driver core.
