Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v4 6/7] bpf: simplify the bpf_is_reg64()
Date: Fri, 7 Aug 2026 13:59:35 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260807-static-zext-v4-6-b6c270013c77@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260807-static-zext-v4-0-b6c270013c77@gmail.com>
After the previous commit bpf_is_reg64() is only used in a context
where destination register's property is queried, and only for
instructions for which insn_def_regno() >= 0.
Hence, simplify the function by:
- removing unused parameters;
- removing code paths considering BPF_JMP{,32} instructions;
- streamlining the condition expressions.
