bpf: Add KF_SPINLOCK_SAFE flag for kfuncs under bpf_spin_lock
Introduce the KF_SPINLOCK_SAFE kfunc metadata flag in BTF so kfuncs may be explicitly marked as safe to call while holding bpf_spin_lock. Allow kfuncs defined in kernel modules to be marked with KF_SPINLOCK_SAFE. Example: BTF_ID_FLAGS(func, $kfunc_name, KF_SPINLOCK_SAFE) Signed-off-by: Kaitao Cheng <chengkaitao@kylinos.cn> Acked-by: Leon Hwang <leon.hwang@linux.dev> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20260805153340.34776-2-kaitao.cheng@linux.dev Signed-off-by: Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi <memxor@gmail.com>
