[PATCH dwarves 0/2] generate BTF_KIND_TAG types from DW_TAG_LLVM_annotation dwarf tags

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

 



LLVM has implemented btf_tag attribute ([1]) which intended
to provide a "string" tag for struct/union or its member, var,
a func or its parameter. Such a "string" tag will be encoded
in dwarf. For non-BPF target like x86_64, pahole needs to
convert those dwarf btf_tag annotations to BTF so kernel
can utilize these "string" tags for bpf program verification, etc.

Patch 1 enhanced dwarf_loader to encode DW_TAG_LLVM_annotation
tags into internal data structure and Patch 2 will encode
such information to BTF with BTF_KIND_TAGs.
