[PATCHv3 bpf-next 4/5] selftests/bpf: Add test for checking correct nop of optimized usdt
From: Jiri Olsa
Date: Wed Feb 11 2026 - 03:51:08 EST
Adding test that attaches bpf program on usdt probe in 2 scenarios;
- attach program on top of usdt_1, which is single nop instruction,
so the probe stays on nop instruction and is not optimized.
- attach program on top of usdt_2 which is probe defined on top
of nop,nop5 combo, so the probe is placed on top of nop5 and
is optimized.
