~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Helper functions are a concept whereby BPF programs can call into a
-set of function calls exposed by the runtime. Each helper
-function is identified by an integer used in a ``BPF_CALL`` instruction.
-The available helper functions may differ for each program type.
+set of function calls exposed by the underlying platform.
+
+Historically, each helper function was identified by an address
+encoded in the imm field. The available helper functions may differ
+for each program type, but address values are unique across all program types.
+
+Platforms that support the BPF Type Format (BTF) support identifying
+a helper function by a BTF ID encoded in the imm field, where the BTF ID
+identifies the helper name and type.
+
+Program-local functions
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Program-local functions are functions exposed by the same BPF program as the
+caller, and are referenced by offset from the call instruction, similar to
+``BPF_JA``. A ``BPF_EXIT`` within the program-local function will return to
+the caller.
