Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v1 3/3] bpftool: Replace the type tag override table with two checks
Date: Fri, 6 Nov 2026 12:57:30 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261106195730.2623973-3-ihor.solodrai@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261106195730.2623973-1-ihor.solodrai@linux.dev>
btf_c_annotate_type_tags() looks each type tag up in a table of
overrides. The table holds two fixed cases, the "address_space(1)"
string of older kernel BTF and the plain "arena" tag, and is not
expected to grow.
Check for the two tags directly and drop the table.
No functional change.
