In a later patch, the task local storage will only accept uptr from the syscall update_elem and will not accept uptr from the bpf prog. The reason is the bpf prog does not have a way to provide a valid user space address. bpf_local_storage_update() and bpf_selem_alloc() are used by both bpf prog bpf_task_storage_get(BPF_LOCAL_STORAGE_GET_F_CREATE) and bpf syscall update_elem. "bool swap_uptrs" arg is added to bpf_local_storage_update() and bpf_selem_alloc() to tell if it is called by the bpf prog or by the bpf syscall. When swap_uptrs==true, it is called by the syscall. The arg is named (swap_)uptrs because the later patch will swap the uptrs between the newly allocated selem and the user space provided map_value. It will make error handling easier in case map->ops->map_update_elem() fails and the caller can decide if it needs to unpin the uptr in the user space provided map_value or the bpf_local_storage_update() has already taken the uptr ownership and will take care of unpinning it also. Only swap_uptrs==false is passed now. The logic to handle the true case will be added in a later patch.

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.
