[PATCHv5 06/13] libbpf: Change has_nop_combo to work on top of nop10

From: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org>
Date: 2026-07-01 11:14:48
Also in: bpf
Subsystem: bpf [general] (safe dynamic programs and tools), bpf [library] (libbpf), the rest · Maintainers: Alexei Starovoitov, Daniel Borkmann, Andrii Nakryiko, Eduard Zingerman, Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi, Linus Torvalds

We now expect nop combo with 10 bytes nop instead of 5 bytes nop,
fixing has_nop_combo to reflect that.

Fixes: 41a5c7df4466 ("libbpf: Add support to detect nop,nop5 instructions combo for usdt probe")
