Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v8 02/11] bpf: use last 8-bits for the nr_args in trampoline
Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2026 10:24:41 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260108022450.88086-3-dongml2@chinatelecom.cn> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260108022450.88086-1-dongml2@chinatelecom.cn>
For now, ctx[-1] is used to store the nr_args in the trampoline. However,
1-byte is enough to store such information. Therefore, we use only the
last byte of ctx[-1] to store the nr_args, and reserve the rest for other
usages.
