selftests/bpf: Reject graph kptr use after RCU unlockgrafted
Add a sleepable verifier test that loads a graph-node local kptr in an
explicit RCU read-side critical section, then passes its node to
bpf_rbtree_remove() after the section ends.
Before the verifier fix, the stale NON_OWN_REF flag makes the node look like
a live borrowed reference and the program is accepted. After the fix, the
pointer is demoted without NON_OWN_REF and the graph kfunc argument is
rejected.
Also exercise a graph kptr loaded while a spin lock provides implicit RCU
protection. The pointer must be invalidated when the lock is released, which
guards the required ordering between non-owning-reference invalidation and
RCU demotion.
Update the existing fault-protected load test state description. The
post-unlock pointer no longer carries NON_OWN_REF, but remains readable
because the load is rewritten to use BPF_PROBE_MEM.

It has a privileged management VM, called Service VM, to manage User +VMs and do I/O emulation. + +ACRN userspace is an application running in the Service VM that emulates +devices for a User VM based on command line configurations. ACRN Hypervisor +Service Module (HSM) is a kernel module in the Service VM which provides +hypervisor services to the ACRN userspace. + +Below figure shows the architecture. + +:: + + Service VM User VM + +----------------------------+ | +------------------+ + | +--------------+ | | | | + | |ACRN userspace| | | | | + | +--------------+ | | | | + |-----------------ioctl------| | | | ... + |kernel space +----------+ | | | | + | | HSM | | | | Drivers | + | +----------+ | | | | + +--------------------|-------+ | +------------------+ + +---------------------hypercall----------------------------------------+ + | ACRN Hypervisor | + +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ + | Hardware | + +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ + +ACRN userspace allocates memory for the User VM, configures and initializes the +devices used by the User VM, loads the virtual bootloader, initializes the +virtual CPU state and handles I/O request accesses from the User VM. It uses +ioctls to communicate with the HSM. HSM implements hypervisor services by +interacting with the ACRN Hypervisor via hypercalls. HSM exports a char device +interface (/dev/acrn_hsm) to userspace. + +The ACRN hypervisor is open for contribution from anyone.
