From f90808702374dc7de6a13cb44cade998fec0e243 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hao Luo Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2020 16:50:48 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] bpf: Introducte bpf_this_cpu_ptr() Add bpf_this_cpu_ptr() to help access percpu var on this cpu. This helper always returns a valid pointer, therefore no need to check returned value for NULL. Also note that all programs run with preemption disabled, which means that the returned pointer is stable during all the execution of the program.
