[RFC] bpf: change bpf syacall to use u64 temp variables

From: yalin wang <hidden>
Date: 2015-10-19 07:10:58
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: bpf [core], bpf [general] (safe dynamic programs and tools), the rest · Maintainers: Alexei Starovoitov, Daniel Borkmann, Andrii Nakryiko, Eduard Zingerman, Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi, Linus Torvalds

This patch change map_lookup_elem() and map_update_elem() function
to use u64 temp variable if the key_size or value_size is less than
u64, we don't need use kmalloc() for these small variables.
