I don't think new map additions should be added that are not under kernel/bpf/ and/or enabled outside the CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL, as it should be considered part of the eBPF core code. The difference here (this patch) is simply that we don't want users to build ifdef spaghetti constructs in user code, so the API that is actually used by eBPF _users_ is being properly ifdef'ed in the headers. So, I don't think this is a big problem, but we could move these bits under the ifdef CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL w/o providing a dummy in the else part. I can do that outside of the scope of this set. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-api" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
