[PATCH bpf-next 4/5] libbpf: add BPF-side definitions of supported field relocation kinds

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Add enum definition for Clang's __builtin_preserve_field_info()
second argument (info_kind). Currently only byte offset and existence
are supported. Corresponding Clang changes introducing this built-in can
be found at [0]
