BPF_CALL_0(bpf_get_smp_processor_id)
{
return smp_processor_id();
}
const struct bpf_func_proto bpf_get_smp_processor_id_proto = {
.func = bpf_get_smp_processor_id,
.gpl_only = false,
.ret_type = RET_INTEGER,
.allow_fastcall = true,
};
When attempting to remove bpf_get_smp_processor_id_proto,
it was observed that bpf_get_smp_processor_id is extensively used.
Should we also replace all instances of bpf_get_smp_processor_id with bpf_get_raw_cpu_id in these cases?

For example:
#define ___BPF_FUNC_MAPPER(FN, ctx...) \
......
FN(get_smp_processor_id, 8, ##ctx) \

samples/bpf/sockex3_kern.c:
static struct globals *this_cpu_globals(void)
{
u32 key = bpf_get_smp_processor_id();
return bpf_map_lookup_elem(&percpu_map, &key);
}
and so on......
Thanks.
