[PATCH dwarves] btf_encoder: sanitize non-regular int base type

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

 



clang with dwarf5 may generate non-regular int base type,
i.e., not a signed/unsigned char/short/int/longlong/__int128.
Such base types are often used to describe
how an actual parameter or variable is generated. For example,

0x000015cf:   DW_TAG_base_type
                DW_AT_name      ("DW_ATE_unsigned_1")
                DW_AT_encoding  (DW_ATE_unsigned)
                DW_AT_byte_size (0x00)

0x00010ed9:         DW_TAG_formal_parameter
                      DW_AT_location    (DW_OP_lit0,
                                         DW_OP_not,
                                         DW_OP_convert (0x000015cf) "DW_ATE_unsigned_1",
                                         DW_OP_convert (0x000015d4) "DW_ATE_unsigned_8",
                                         DW_OP_stack_value)
                      DW_AT_abstract_origin     (0x00013984 "branch")

What it does is with a literal "0", did a "not" operation, and the converted to
one-bit unsigned int and then 8-bit unsigned int.

Another example,

0x000e97e4:   DW_TAG_base_type
                DW_AT_name      ("DW_ATE_unsigned_24")
                DW_AT_encoding  (DW_ATE_unsigned)
                DW_AT_byte_size (0x03)

0x000f88f8:     DW_TAG_variable
                  DW_AT_location        (indexed (0x3c) loclist = 0x00008fb0:
                     [0xffffffff82808812, 0xffffffff82808817):
                         DW_OP_breg0 RAX+0,
                         DW_OP_convert (0x000e97d5) "DW_ATE_unsigned_64",
                         DW_OP_convert (0x000e97df) "DW_ATE_unsigned_8",
                         DW_OP_stack_value,
                         DW_OP_piece 0x1,
                         DW_OP_breg0 RAX+0,
                         DW_OP_convert (0x000e97d5) "DW_ATE_unsigned_64",
                         DW_OP_convert (0x000e97da) "DW_ATE_unsigned_32",
                         DW_OP_lit8,
                         DW_OP_shr,
                         DW_OP_convert (0x000e97da) "DW_ATE_unsigned_32",
                         DW_OP_convert (0x000e97e4) "DW_ATE_unsigned_24",
                         DW_OP_stack_value,
                         DW_OP_piece 0x3
                     ......

At one point, a right shift by 8 happens and the result is converted to
32-bit unsigned int and then to 24-bit unsigned int.

BTF does not need any of these DW_OP_* information and such non-regular int
types will cause libbpf to emit errors.
Let us sanitize them to generate BTF acceptable to libbpf and kernel.
