[PATCH] fgraph: Remove unused FGRAPH_MAX_INDEX

From: Donggeun Yoo

Date: Sat Sep 05 2026 - 17:19:33 EST


FGRAPH_MAX_INDEX has no user, and it expands to FGRAPH_INDEX_SIZE and
FGRAPH_RET_INDEX, neither of which is defined anywhere in the tree. It
was added in that form by commit 91c46b0aa917 ("function_graph:
Implement fgraph_reserve_data() and fgraph_retrieve_data()"), which
introduced the current data word layout under new names, so anything
referencing it would have failed to build ever since.

Remove it.

Found while reading the shadow stack word layout. The macro is dead in
both senses: nothing references it, and it could not be used as it is.

Compile-tested only, with CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER=y and
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE=y. Removing an unreferenced macro cannot change
generated code, so there is nothing to test at run time.
