I've tried a bunch of different flags and attributes, but none of them helped. The only thing that works is: diff --git a/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/bpf_testmod/bpf_testmod.c b/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/bpf_testmod/bpf_testmod.c index 46500636d8cd..5fd0f75d5d20 100644 --- a/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/bpf_testmod/bpf_testmod.c +++ b/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/bpf_testmod/bpf_testmod.c @@ -28,6 +28,7 @@ struct bpf_testmod_struct_arg_2 { long b; }; +__attribute__((optimize("-O0"))) noinline int bpf_testmod_test_struct_arg_1(struct bpf_testmod_struct_arg_2 a, int b, int c) { We cannot do: --- a/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/bpf_testmod/Makefile +++ b/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/bpf_testmod/Makefile @@ -10,7 +10,7 @@ endif MODULES = bpf_testmod.ko obj-m += bpf_testmod.o -CFLAGS_bpf_testmod.o = -I$(src) +CFLAGS_bpf_testmod.o = -I$(src) -O0 The build fails due to asm stuff. Maybe we should make scripts/pahole-flags.sh selective and don't apply skip_encoding_btf_inconsiste to bpf_testmod ? Thoughts?
