Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/4] trace: Simplify kprobe overridable function check
Date: Thu,  2 Apr 2026 17:26:04 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260402092607.96430-2-laoar.shao@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260402092607.96430-1-laoar.shao@gmail.com>

Simplify the logic for checking overridable kprobe functions by removing
redundant code.

No functional change.
