Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v4 02/13] bpf: Split subprogram and kfunc collection
Date: Wed,  5 Aug 2026 23:04:13 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260805210427.3218326-3-memxor@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260805210427.3218326-1-memxor@gmail.com>

add_subprog_and_kfunc() combines two operations with different ordering
requirements. Subprogram discovery must precede validation of func_info and
line_info, while kfunc descriptors are only needed by the verifier after its
initial program setup is complete.

Split the helper into add_subprogs() and add_kfuncs() so each operation can be
placed according to its actual dependencies. Keep both calls adjacent and in
their existing phase for now, and add short comments describing their roles.

No functional change is intended for valid programs.
