bpf_object__btf() can return a NULL value. If bpf_object__btf returns null, do not progress through codegen_asserts(). This avoids a null ptr dereference at the call btf__type_cnt() in the function find_type_for_map() Signed-off-by: Michael Mullin <masmullin@xxxxxxxxx> --- tools/bpf/bpftool/gen.c | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) diff --git a/tools/bpf/bpftool/gen.c b/tools/bpf/bpftool/gen.c index 4c9477ff748d..f158dc1c2149 100644 --- a/tools/bpf/bpftool/gen.c +++ b/tools/bpf/bpftool/gen.c @@ -474,6 +474,9 @@ static void codegen_asserts(struct bpf_object *obj, const char *obj_name) const struct btf_type *sec; char map_ident[256], var_ident[256]; + if (!btf) + return; + codegen("\ \n\ __attribute__((unused)) static void \n\ -- 2.36.1
