Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 0/2] bpf: Support fentry/fexit for functions with union args
Date: Fri,  5 Sep 2025 21:32:24 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250905133226.84675-1-leon.hwang@linux.dev> (raw)

While tracing 'release_pages' with bpfsnoop[0], the verifier reports:

The function release_pages arg0 type UNION is unsupported.

However, it should be acceptable to trace functions that have 'union'
arguments.

This patch set enables such support in the verifier by allowing 'union'
as a valid argument type.
