When building with clang for ARCH=i386, the following errors are observed: CC kernel/bpf/btf_relocate.o ./tools/lib/bpf/btf_relocate.c:206:23: error: implicit truncation from 'int' to a one-bit wide bit-field changes value from 1 to -1 [-Werror,-Wsingle-bit-bitfield-constant-conversion] 206 | info[id].needs_size = true; | ^ ~ ./tools/lib/bpf/btf_relocate.c:256:25: error: implicit truncation from 'int' to a one-bit wide bit-field changes value from 1 to -1 [-Werror,-Wsingle-bit-bitfield-constant-conversion] 256 | base_info.needs_size = true; | ^ ~ 2 errors generated. The problem is we use 1-bit, 31-bit bitfields in a signed int. Changing to bool needs_size: 1; unsigned int size:31; ...resolves the error and pahole reports that 4 bytes are used for the underlying representation: $ pahole btf_name_info tools/lib/bpf/btf_relocate.o struct btf_name_info { const char * name; /* 0 8 */ unsigned int needs_size:1; /* 8: 0 4 */ unsigned int size:31; /* 8: 1 4 */ __u32 id; /* 12 4 */ /* size: 16, cachelines: 1, members: 4 */ /* last cacheline: 16 bytes */ }; Signed-off-by: Alan Maguire <alan.maguire@xxxxxxxxxx> --- tools/lib/bpf/btf_relocate.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/tools/lib/bpf/btf_relocate.c b/tools/lib/bpf/btf_relocate.c index 2281dbbafa11..66c6204c4064 100644 --- a/tools/lib/bpf/btf_relocate.c +++ b/tools/lib/bpf/btf_relocate.c @@ -58,8 +58,8 @@ struct btf_relocate { struct btf_name_info { const char *name; /* set when search requires a size match */ - int needs_size:1, - size:31; + bool needs_size: 1; + unsigned int size: 31; __u32 id; }; -- 2.31.1
