The helper value is ABI as defined by enum bpf_func_id. As bpf_helper_defs.h is used for the userpace part, it must be consistent with this enum. Before this change, the enumerated value was derived from the comment order, which assumes comments are always appended, however, there doesn't seem to be an enforcement anywhere for maintaining a strict order. When adding new helpers it is very puzzling when the userspace application breaks in weird places if the comment is inserted instead of appended - because the generated helper ABI is incorrect and shifted. This commit attempts to ease this by always using bpf_func_id order as the helper value.
