hi, this patchset does preparation work for adding d_path helper, which still needs more work, but the initial set of patches is ready and useful to have. This patchset adds: - support to generate BTF ID lists that are resolved during kernel linking and usable within kernel code with following macros: BTF_ID_LIST(bpf_skb_output_btf_ids) BTF_ID(struct, sk_buff) and access it in kernel code via: extern u32 bpf_skb_output_btf_ids[]; - resolve_btfids tool that scans elf object for .BTF_ids section and resolves its symbols with BTF ID values - resolving of bpf_ctx_convert struct and several other objects with BTF_ID_LIST v6 changes: - added acks - added general make rule to resolve_btfids Build [Andrii] - renamed .BTF.ids to .BTF_ids [Andrii] - added --no-fail option to resolve_btfids [Andrii] - changed resolve_btfids test to work over BTF from object file, so we don't depend on vmlinux BTF [Andrii] - fixed few typos [Andrii] - fixed the out of tree build [Andrii] Also available at: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jolsa/perf.git bpf/d_path thanks, jirka --- Jiri Olsa (9): bpf: Add resolve_btfids tool to resolve BTF IDs in ELF object bpf: Compile resolve_btfids tool at kernel compilation start bpf: Add BTF_ID_LIST/BTF_ID/BTF_ID_UNUSED macros bpf: Resolve BTF IDs in vmlinux image bpf: Remove btf_id helpers resolving bpf: Use BTF_ID to resolve bpf_ctx_convert struct bpf: Add info about .BTF_ids section to btf.rst tools headers: Adopt verbatim copy of btf_ids.h from kernel sources selftests/bpf: Add test for resolve_btfids Documentation/bpf/btf.rst | 36 +++++ Makefile | 25 +++- include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h | 4 + include/linux/btf_ids.h | 87 ++++++++++++ kernel/bpf/btf.c | 103 ++------------ kernel/trace/bpf_trace.c | 9 +- net/core/filter.c | 9 +- scripts/link-vmlinux.sh | 6 + tools/Makefile | 3 + tools/bpf/Makefile | 9 +- tools/bpf/resolve_btfids/Build | 10 ++ tools/bpf/resolve_btfids/Makefile | 77 +++++++++++ tools/bpf/resolve_btfids/main.c | 721 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ tools/include/linux/btf_ids.h | 87 ++++++++++++ tools/include/linux/compiler.h | 4 + tools/testing/selftests/bpf/Makefile | 14 +- tools/testing/selftests/bpf/prog_tests/resolve_btfids.c | 107 ++++++++++++++ tools/testing/selftests/bpf/progs/btf_data.c | 26 ++++ 18 files changed, 1234 insertions(+), 103 deletions(-) create mode 100644 include/linux/btf_ids.h create mode 100644 tools/bpf/resolve_btfids/Build create mode 100644 tools/bpf/resolve_btfids/Makefile create mode 100644 tools/bpf/resolve_btfids/main.c create mode 100644 tools/include/linux/btf_ids.h create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/bpf/prog_tests/resolve_btfids.c create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/bpf/progs/btf_data.c
