Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 3/3] btf: Reuse libbpf code for BTF type sorting verification and binary search
Date: Mon, 27 Oct 2025 21:54:23 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251027135423.3098490-4-dolinux.peng@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251027135423.3098490-1-dolinux.peng@gmail.com>
The previous commit implemented BTF sorting verification and binary
search algorithm in libbpf. This patch enables this functionality in
the kernel.
