I think this should go through the ftrace tree. It has very little to do with BPF. We discovered the need for this change when building live patches. Regarding ACKs, it is a bit tricky. For the code we touched in this set, there is actually no behavior change at all. OTOH, the real change happens to "inline"s that we didn't touch in this set. If such a function was left out-of-line by the compiler, it was not traceable before, but is traceable after this set. How should we approach this? Maybe we can just ask ACKs from the maintainers of all the code touched here. Thanks, Song
