Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2 17/18] bpf: Classify scalar kfunc arguments from BTF
Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2026 12:08:11 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260724190813.1458271-18-ameryhung@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260724190813.1458271-1-ameryhung@gmail.com>

Add kfunc scalar argument types, classify them in get_kfunc_arg_type()
along side with pointer arguments and move scalar type verification
into the main switch in check_kfunc_args(). This keeps BTF-based
classification separate from register validation for every argument,
paving the way for generating the kfunc argument prototype at add-call
time. No functional change intended.
