Tony Ambardar 7bdcedd5c8 bpf: Harden __bpf_kfunc tag against linker kfunc removal
BPF kfuncs are often not directly referenced and may be inadvertently
removed by optimization steps during kernel builds, thus the __bpf_kfunc
tag mitigates against this removal by including the __used macro. However,
this macro alone does not prevent removal during linking, and may still
yield build warnings (e.g. on mips64el):

  [...]

Update the __bpf_kfunc tag to better guard against linker optimization by
including the new __retain compiler macro, which fixes the warnings above.

Verify the __retain macro with readelf by checking object flags for 'R':

  $ readelf -Wa kernel/trace/bpf_trace.o

  Key to Flags:
  [...]
    R (retain), D (mbind), p (processor specific)

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 reStructuredText 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.
