Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v12 10/11] libbpf: Optimize the performance of determine_ptr_size
Date: Fri, 9 Jan 2026 21:00:02 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260109130003.3313716-11-dolinux.peng@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260109130003.3313716-1-dolinux.peng@gmail.com>
From: Donglin Peng <pengdonglin@xiaomi.com>
Leverage the performance improvement of btf__find_by_name_kind() when
BTF is sorted. For sorted BTF, the function uses binary search with
O(log n) complexity instead of linear search, providing significant
performance benefits, especially for large BTF like vmlinux.
