Before this commit, the BPF verifier required ARG_PTR_TO_MEM arguments to be followed by ARG_CONST_SIZE holding the size of the memory region. The helpers had to check that size in runtime.
There are cases where the size expected by a helper is a compile-time constant. Checking it in runtime is an unnecessary overhead and waste of BPF registers.
This commit allows helpers to accept pointers to memory without the corresponding ARG_CONST_SIZE, given that they define the memory region size in struct bpf_func_proto and use ARG_PTR_TO_FIXED_SIZE_MEM type.
arg_size is unionized with arg_btf_id to reduce the kernel image size, and it's valid because they are used by different argument types.
