Re: [PATCH] bpftool: fix control flow graph segfault during edge creation

Hello Quentin,

here's a small example based on libbpf-bootstrap:

------------- reprex_edge_segfault.bpf.c
// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 OR BSD-3-Clause

#include "vmlinux.h"
#include <bpf/bpf_helpers.h>

char LICENSE[] SEC("license") = "Dual BSD/GPL";

int __attribute__ ((noinline)) do_barf()
{
	bpf_printk("We're doomed\n");
	return 0;
}

SEC("tp/sched/sched_process_exec")
int handle__sched_process_exec(struct trace_event_raw_sched_process_exec *ctx)
{
    if (ctx->pid > 1000)
	    do_barf();

    return 0;
}

------------- reprex_edge_segfault.c
// SPDX-License-Identifier: (LGPL-2.1 OR BSD-2-Clause)

#include <unistd.h>
#include <bpf/libbpf.h>
#include <bpf/bpf.h>
#include "reprex_edge_segfault.skel.h"

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	struct reprex_edge_segfault_bpf *skel;
	int err=0;

	skel = reprex_edge_segfault_bpf__open();
	err = reprex_edge_segfault_bpf__load(skel);
	err = reprex_edge_segfault_bpf__attach(skel);

	while (true)
	    sleep(1);

	reprex_edge_segfault_bpf__destroy(skel);
	return -err;
}
--------------

Then just add reprex_edge_segfault to APPS variable in examples/c/Makefile.

Kind regards,
 Christoph
