I also noticed that after upgrading pahole to v1.24 kernel build (tested on
v5.18.19, v5.15.63, sorry for not testing on mainline) fails with:

     BTFIDS  vmlinux
   + ./tools/bpf/resolve_btfids/resolve_btfids vmlinux
   FAILED: load BTF from vmlinux: Invalid argument

Perhaps, .tmp_vmlinux.btf is generated incorrectly? Downgrading dwarves to
v1.23 resolves the issue.


Can you try this, from Martin Reboredo (Archlinux):

Can you try a build of the kernel or the by passing the
--skip_encoding_btf_enum64 to scripts/pahole-flags.sh?

Here's a patch for either in tree scripts/pahole-flags.sh or
/usr/lib/modules/5.19.3-arch1-1/build/scripts/pahole-flags.sh

This patch helped and kernel builds successfully after applying it.
(Didn't notice this suggestion in release discussion thread.)

Even thought it now compiles with this patch, it does not boot
afterwards (in virtme-like env), witch such console messages:

I'm talking here about 5.15.62. Yes, proposed patch does not apply there
(since there is no `scripts/pahole-flags.sh`), but I updated
`scripts/link-vmlinux.sh` with the similar `if` to append
`--skip_encoding_btf_enum64` which lets then compilation pass.

Thanks,

I can see the same on 5.15, it looks like the libbpf change that
pahole is compiled with is setting the type's kflag for values < 0:
(which is the case for perf_event_task_context enum first value)

   dffbbdc2d988 libbpf: Add enum64 parsing and new enum64 public API

but IIUC kflag should stay zero for normal enum otherwise the btf meta
verifier screams

This is deliberate so we can have sign bit set properly for 32bit enum.
To avoid this behavior, the correct way is to turn off enum64 support
in pahole with flag --skip_encoding_btf_enum64.


if I compile pahole with the libbpf change below I can boot 5.15 kernel
normally

Yonghong, any idea?

thanks,
jirka
