Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v10 08/13] bpf: Skip anonymous types in type lookup for performance
Date: Thu, 18 Dec 2025 19:30:46 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251218113051.455293-9-dolinux.peng@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251218113051.455293-1-dolinux.peng@gmail.com>

From: pengdonglin <pengdonglin@xiaomi.com>

Currently, vmlinux and kernel module BTFs are unconditionally
sorted during the build phase, with named types placed at the
end. Thus, anonymous types should be skipped when starting the
search. In my vmlinux BTF, the number of anonymous types is
61,747, which means the loop count can be reduced by 61,747.
