btf_type_tag is a new llvm type attribute which is used similar
to kernel __user/__rcu attributes. The format of btf_type_tag looks like

For the case where the attribute applied to a pointee like
#define __tag1 __attribute__((btf_type_tag("tag1")))
#define __tag2 __attribute__((btf_type_tag("tag2")))
int __tag1 * __tag1 __tag2 *g;
the information will be encoded in dwarf.
In BTF, the attribute is encoded as a new kind
BTF_KIND_TYPE_TAG and latest bpf-next supports it.
The patch added support in pahole, specifically
converts llvm dwarf btf_type_tag attributes to
BTF types. Please see individual patches for details.
Changelog:
v1 -> v2:
- reorg an if condition to reduce nesting level.
- add more comments to explain how to chain type tag types.
Yonghong Song (4):
libbpf: sync with latest libbpf repo
dutil: move DW_TAG_LLVM_annotation definition to dutil.h
dwarf_loader: support btf_type_tag attribute
btf_encoder: support btf_type_tag attribute
I thought that v1 was already applied, but either way LGTM. I'm not
To the next branch, and the libbpf pahole CI is failing, since a few
days, can you please take a look?
super familiar with the DWARF loader parts, so I mostly just read it
very superficially :)
I replaced the patches that changed, re-added the S-o-B for Yonghong and
tested it with llvm-project HEAD.
Thanks Arnaldo!
