Sure, just please don't assume whoever is reading your patches has this background, provide comments above such places, so that reviewing gets facilitated.
I eventually figured this is some sort of trampoline to access kernel functions:
/* integer value in 'imm' field of BPF_CALL instruction selects which * helper function eBPF program intends to call */ enum bpf_func_id { BPF_FUNC_unspec, BPF_FUNC_map_lookup_elem, /* void *map_lookup_elem(&map, &key) */ BPF_FUNC_map_update_elem, /* int map_update_elem(&map, &key, &value, flags) */ BPF_FUNC_map_delete_elem, /* int map_delete_elem(&map, &key) */ BPF_FUNC_probe_read, /* int bpf_probe_read(void *dst, int size, void *src) */
But if you had just:
/* * See enum_bpf_func_id in ./include/uapi/linux/bpf.h */
That would've helped.
