Hello:

This series was applied to bpf/bpf-next.git (master)
by Alexei Starovoitov [off-list ref]:

This series enables direct helper calls using BPF_EMIT_CALL from prologue
and epilogue code generated by verifier ops. The goal is to simplify the
calling convention and remove kfunc support from prologue/epilogue, as
suggested by Alexei [1].

Patch 1 adds the infrastructure to mark direct helper calls as finalized
(already resolved) so the verifier skips the imm fixup.

Here is the summary with links:
