Subject: [PATCH bpf-next] bpf: Remove unused BTF_FMODEL_STRUCT_ARG
Date: Sun,  2 Aug 2026 22:27:26 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260803052726.2821447-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev> (raw)

Commit 814cba835ef6 ("bpf, x86: Fix trampoline stack size for 128-bit
arguments") changed the x86 trampoline to compute the number of
registers from arg_size for every argument, which removed the last user
of BTF_FMODEL_STRUCT_ARG. No other architecture or verifier code looks
at the flag, so remove the macro and the code in __get_type_fmodel_flags()
which sets it.

Keep BTF_FMODEL_SIGNED_ARG at BIT(1) rather than renumbering it to
BIT(0), so BIT(0) is available for a future flag.

No functional change.
