[PATCH] fix linux kernel BTF builds: increase max percpu variables by 10x

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When building the Linux kernel with a distro .config, most or even all
possible kernel modules are built. This adds up to 4500+ modules, and
based on my testing, this causes the pahole utility to run out of space,
which shows up like this (CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y is required in order
to reproduce this):

  LD      .tmp_vmlinux.btf
  BTF     .btf.vmlinux.bin.o
Reached the limit of per-CPU variables: 4096
...repeated many times...
Reached the limit of per-CPU variables: 4096
  LD      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1
  NM      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1.syms
  KSYMS   .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1.S
  AS      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1.S
  LD      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2
  NM      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2.syms
  KSYMS   .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2.S
  AS      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2.S
  LD      vmlinux
  BTFIDS  vmlinux
libbpf: failed to find '.BTF' ELF section in vmlinux
FAILED: load BTF from vmlinux: No data available
make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.vmlinux:37: vmlinux] Error 255

make[1]: *** [/kernel_work/linux-people/Makefile:1162: vmlinux] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:240: __sub-make] Error 2

Increasing MAX_PERCPU_VAR_CNT by 10x avoids running out of space, and
allows the build to succeed.
