Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 4/4] libbpf: deprecate bpf_program__get_prog_info_linear
Date: Sun, 10 Oct 2021 19:27:04 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211011022704.2143205-5-davemarchevsky@fb.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20211011022704.2143205-1-davemarchevsky@fb.com>

As part of the road to libbpf 1.0, and discussed in libbpf issue tracker
[0], bpf_program__get_prog_info_linear and its associated structs and
helper functions should be deprecated. The functionality is too specific
to the needs of 'perf', and there's little/no out-of-tree usage to
preclude introduction of a more general helper in the future.

[0] Closes: https://github.com/libbpf/libbpf/issues/313
