Daniel Xu says: ==================== bpf: Support dumping kfunc prototypes from BTF This patchset enables both detecting as well as dumping compilable prototypes for kfuncs. The first commit instructs pahole to DECL_TAG kfuncs when available. This requires v1.27 which was released on 6/11/24. With it, users will be able to look at BTF inside vmlinux (or modules) and check if the kfunc they want is available. The final commit teaches bpftool how to dump kfunc prototypes. This is done for developer convenience. The rest of the commits are fixups to enable selftests to use the newly dumped kfunc prototypes. With these, selftests will regularly exercise the newly added codepaths. Tested with and without the required pahole changes: * https://github.com/kernel-patches/bpf/pull/7186 * https://github.com/kernel-patches/bpf/pull/7187 === Changelog === From v4: * Change bpf_session_cookie() return type * Only fixup used fentry test kfunc prototypes * Extract out projection detection into shared btf_is_projection_of() * Fix kernel test robot build warnings about doc comments From v3: * Teach selftests to use dumped prototypes From v2: * Update Makefile.btf with pahole flag * More error checking * Output formatting changes * Drop already-merged commit From v1: * Add __weak annotation * Use btf_dump for kfunc prototypes * Update kernel bpf_rdonly_cast() signature ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/cover.1718207789.git.dxu@dxuuu.xyz Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>
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 reStructuredText 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.
