[ Upstream commit cfe69c50b05510b24e26ccb427c7cc70beafd6c1 ]
The bpf_strtol() and bpf_strtoul() helpers are currently broken on 32bit:
The argument type ARG_PTR_TO_LONG is BPF-side "long", not kernel-side "long" and therefore always considered fixed 64bit no matter if 64 or 32bit underlying architecture.
This contract breaks in case of the two mentioned helpers since their BPF_CALL definition for the helpers was added with {unsigned,}long *res. Meaning, the transition from BPF-side "long" (BPF program) to kernel-side "long" (BPF helper) breaks here.
Both helpers call __bpf_strtoll() with "long long" correctly, but later assigning the result into 32-bit "*(long *)" on 32bit architectures. From a BPF program point of view, this means upper bits will be seen as uninitialised.
Therefore, fix both BPF_CALL signatures to {s,u}64 types to fix this situation.
Now, changing also uapi/bpf.h helper documentation which generates bpf_helper_defs.h for BPF programs is tricky: Changing signatures there to __{s,u}64 would trigger compiler warnings (incompatible pointer types passing 'long *' to parameter of type '__s64 *' (aka 'long long *')) for existing BPF programs.
Leaving the signatures as-is would be fine as from BPF program point of view it is still BPF-side "long" and thus equivalent to __{s,u}64 on 64 or 32bit underlying architectures.
Note that bpf_strtol() and bpf_strtoul() are the only helpers with this issue.
