[PATCH RFC bpf-next 5/7] bpf: introduce bpf_arch_text_poke_type

From: Menglong Dong

Date: Fri Nov 14 2025 - 04:25:24 EST


Introduce the function bpf_arch_text_poke_type(), which is able to specify
both the current and new opcode. If it is not implemented by the arch,
bpf_arch_text_poke() will be called directly if the current opcode is the
same as the new one. Otherwise, -EOPNOTSUPP will be returned.
