With latest bpf-next built with clang lto (thin or full), I hit one test failures: $ ./test_progs -t tcp ... libbpf: extern (func ksym) 'tcp_slow_start': func_proto [23] incompatible with kernel [115303] libbpf: failed to load object 'bpf_cubic' libbpf: failed to load BPF skeleton 'bpf_cubic': -22 test_cubic:FAIL:bpf_cubic__open_and_load failed #9/2 cubic:FAIL ... The reason of the failure is due to bpf program 'tcp_slow_start' func signature is different from vmlinux BTF. bpf program uses the following signature: extern __u32 tcp_slow_start(struct tcp_sock *tp, __u32 acked); which is identical to the kernel definition in linux:include/net/tcp.h: u32 tcp_slow_start(struct tcp_sock *tp, u32 acked); While vmlinux BTF definition like: [115303] FUNC_PROTO '(anon)' ret_type_id=0 vlen=2 'tp' type_id=39373 'acked' type_id=18 [115304] FUNC 'tcp_slow_start' type_id=115303 linkage=static The above is dumped with `bpftool btf dump file vmlinux`. You can see the ret_type_id is 0 and this caused the problem. Looking at dwarf, we have: 0x11f2ec67: DW_TAG_subprogram DW_AT_low_pc (0xffffffff81ed2330) DW_AT_high_pc (0xffffffff81ed235c) DW_AT_frame_base () DW_AT_GNU_all_call_sites (true) DW_AT_abstract_origin (0x11f2ed66 "tcp_slow_start") ... 0x11f2ed66: DW_TAG_subprogram DW_AT_name ("tcp_slow_start") DW_AT_decl_file ("/home/yhs/work/bpf-next/net/ipv4/tcp_cong.c") DW_AT_decl_line (392) DW_AT_prototyped (true) DW_AT_type (0x11f130c2 "u32") DW_AT_external (true) DW_AT_inline (DW_INL_inlined) We have a subprogram which has an abstract_origin pointing to the subprogram prototype with return type. Current one pass recoding cannot easily resolve this easily since at the time recoding for 0x11f2ec67, the return type in 0x11f2ed66 has not been resolved. To simplify implementation, I just added another pass to go through all functions after recoding pass. This should resolve the above issue. With this patch, among total 250999 functions in vmlinux, 4821 functions needs return type adjustment from type id 0 to correct values. The above failed bpf selftest passed too.

With this, all self tests are passed except ones due to global function inlining, static variable promotion etc, which are not related to pahole. diff --git a/dwarf_loader.c b/dwarf_loader.c index 026d137..367ac06 100644 --- a/dwarf_loader.c +++ b/dwarf_loader.c @@ -2198,6 +2198,42 @@ out: return 0; } +static int cu__resolve_func_ret_types(struct cu *cu) +{ + struct ptr_table *pt = &cu->functions_table; + uint32_t i; + + for (i = 0; i < pt->nr_entries; ++i) { + struct tag *tag = pt->entries[i]; + + if (tag == NULL || tag->type != 0) + continue; + + struct function *fn = tag__function(tag); + if (!fn->abstract_origin) + continue; + + struct dwarf_tag *dtag = tag->priv; + struct dwarf_tag *dfunc; + dfunc = dwarf_cu__find_tag_by_ref(cu->priv, &dtag->abstract_origin); + if (dfunc == NULL) { + tag__print_abstract_origin_not_found(tag); + return -1; + } + + /* + * Based on what I see it should be a subprogram, + * but double check anyway to ensure I won't mess up + * now and in the future. + */ + if (dfunc->tag->tag != DW_TAG_subprogram) + continue; + + tag->type = dfunc->tag->type; + } + return 0; +} + static int cu__recode_dwarf_types_table(struct cu *cu, struct ptr_table *pt, uint32_t i) @@ -2637,6 +2673,16 @@ static int cus__merge_and_process_cu(struct cus *cus, struct conf_load *conf, /* process merged cu */ if (cu__recode_dwarf_types(cu) != LSK__KEEPIT) return DWARF_CB_ABORT; + + /* + * for lto build, the function return type may not be + * resolved due to the return type of a subprogram is + * encoded in another subprogram through abstract_origin + * tag.
