Subject: tracing: Add a helper function to handle the dereference arg in verifier
X-Git-Tag: v6.16-rc1~121^2~6
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6956ea9fdcf706dc6201bf7146af188539eac9b1;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

tracing: Add a helper function to handle the dereference arg in verifier

Add a helper function called handle_dereference_arg() to replace the logic
that is identical in two locations of test_event_printk().
