We no longer need them as we can use DWARF debug info or BTF + pahole to re-generate the required structs to compile against them for a given kernel. This moves the burden of maintaining these helper functions to the module. https://github.com/qais-yousef/sched_tp Note that pahole v1.15 is required at least for using DWARF. And for BTF v1.23 which is not yet released will be required. There's alignment problem that will lead to crashes in earlier versions when used with BTF. We should have enough infrastructure to make these helper functions now obsolete, so remove them.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
