#### 6.33.8 BPF Function Attributes

These function attributes are supported by the BPF back end:

`kernel_helper`

  use this attribute to indicate the specified function declaration is a kernel helper. The helper function is passed as an argument to the attribute. Example:

      int bpf_probe_read (void *dst, int size, const void *unsafe_ptr)
        __attribute__ ((kernel_helper (4)));

`naked`

  This attribute allows the compiler to construct the requisite function declaration, while allowing the body of the function to be assembly code. The specified function will not have prologue/epilogue sequences generated by the compiler. Only basic `asm` statements can safely be included in naked functions (see Basic Asm). While using extended `asm` or a mixture of basic `asm` and C code may appear to work, they cannot be depended upon to work reliably and are not supported.
