Michal reported a build failure likes below: BTFIDS vmlinux FAILED unresolved symbol tcp_timewait_sock make[1]: *** [/.../linux-5.9-rc7/Makefile:1176: vmlinux] Error 255 This error can be triggered when config has CONFIG_NET enabled but CONFIG_INET disabled. In this case, there is no user of structs inet_timewait_sock and tcp_timewait_sock and hence vmlinux BTF types are not generated for these two structures. To fix the problem, let us force BTF generation for these two structures with BTF_TYPE_EMIT. Fixes: fce557bcef11 ("bpf: Make btf_sock_ids global") Reported-by: Michal Kubecek <mkubecek@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Yonghong Song <yhs@xxxxxx> --- net/core/filter.c | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) Changelog: v2 -> v3: . instead of avoiding generating BTF types which is more complex, just always generating these BTF types (under CONFIG_NET). v1 -> v2: . For unsupported socket times, using BTF_ID_UNUSED to keep the id as 0.
