  hello,

There was a compilation error....

-----------x--------------x------------------x--
MODPOST vmlinux.symvers
   MODINFO modules.builtin.modinfo
   GEN     modules.builtin
BTF: .tmp_vmlinux.btf: pahole (pahole) is not available
Failed to generate BTF for vmlinux
Try to disable CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF
make: *** [Makefile:1183: vmlinux] Error 1

Is this a regression?  If so, what commit caused this?

i did CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=n  in .config and then compilation was
success.

Or you can install pahole, right?  That's a requirement for that build
option I think.


Looks like some distros enabled this option - either disable the
option or install pahole. Not a regression.

Keep in mind that CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF is a dependency to build
bpf tests. bpf build pulls kernel defines from BTF to generate a
header file. Not desirable to generate header that conflicts with
standard libgcc defines which is not relevant to this conversation.

thanks,
