The mapping between bpf_arg_type and bpf_reg_type is encoded in a big
hairy if statement that is hard to follow. The debug output also leaves
to be desired: if a reg_type doesn't match we only print one of the
options, instead printing all the valid ones.

Convert the if statement into a table which is then used to drive type
checking. If none of the reg_types match we print all options, e.g.:

    R2 type=rdonly_buf expected=fp, pkt, pkt_meta, map_value

History
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.
