From: Yonghong Song <yhs@xxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 6e057fc15a2da4ee03eb1fa6889cf687e690106e ] When tweaking llvm optimizations, I found that selftest build failed with the following error: libbpf: elf: skipping unrecognized data section(6) .rodata.str1.1 libbpf: prog 'sysctl_tcp_mem': bad map relo against '.L__const.is_tcp_mem.tcp_mem_name' in section '.rodata.str1.1' Error: failed to open BPF object file: Relocation failed make: *** [/work/net-next/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_sysctl_prog.skel.h] Error 255 make: *** Deleting file `/work/net-next/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_sysctl_prog.skel.h' The local string constant "tcp_mem_name" is put into '.rodata.str1.1' section which libbpf cannot handle. Using untweaked upstream llvm, "tcp_mem_name" is completely inlined after loop unrolling. Commit 7fb5eefd7639 ("selftests/bpf: Fix test_sysctl_loop{1, 2} failure due to clang change") solved a similar problem by defining the string const as a global. Let us do the same here for test_sysctl_prog.c so it can weather future potential llvm changes.
