Next: C-SKY Function Attributes, Previous: Blackfin Function Attributes, Up: Function Attributes [Contents][Index]
These function attributes are supported by the BPF back end:
kernel_helper
use this attribute to indicate the specified function declaration is a kernel helper. The helper function is passed as an argument to the attribute. Example:
int bpf_probe_read (void *dst, int size, const void *unsafe_ptr) __attribute__ ((kernel_helper (4)));
naked
This attribute allows the compiler to construct the requisite function declaration, while allowing the body of the function to be assembly code. The specified function will not have prologue/epilogue sequences generated by the compiler. Only basic asm
statements can safely be included in naked functions (see Basic Asm). While using extended asm
or a mixture of basic asm
and C code may appear to work, they cannot be depended upon to work reliably and are not supported.
