Subject: [PATCH 2/4] bpf, fbt: implement a fallback in case bpf_get_func_ret() is not supported
Date: Mon, 09 Nov 2026 20:09:14 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <41d2adfe9a6f03ad47bd6994c12dc73e@oracle.com> (raw)
The bpf_get_func_ret() BPF helper was not introduced until Linux 5.17,
and DTrace should still support kernels older than that.
