Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v3 01/11] Revert "bpf: use common instruction history across all states"
Date: Wed, 11 Jun 2025 13:08:26 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250611200836.4135542-1-eddyz87@gmail.com> (raw)

This reverts commit 96a30e469ca1d2b8cc7811b40911f8614b558241.
Next patches in the series modify propagate_precision() to allow
arbitrary starting state. Precision propagation requires access to
jump history, and arbitrary states represent history not belonging to
`env->cur_state`.
