[PATCH bpf-next v3 3/7] bpf: Update descriptions for helpers bpf_get_func_arg[_cnt]()

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

 



Now instead of the number of arguments, the number of registers
holding argument values are stored in trampoline. Update
the description of bpf_get_func_arg[_cnt]() helpers. Previous
programs without struct arguments should continue to work
as usual.
