[ Upstream commit cc5083d1f3881624ad2de1f3cbb3a07e152cb254 ]
I encountered an issue when building the test_progs from the repository [1]:
$ pwd
/work/Qemu/x86_64/linux-6.10-rc2/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/
$ make test_progs V=1
[...]
./tools/sbin/bpftool gen object ./ip_check_defrag.bpf.linked2.o ./ip_check_defrag.bpf.linked1.o
libbpf: failed to find symbol for variable 'bpf_dynptr_slice' in section '.ksyms'
Error: failed to link './ip_check_defrag.bpf.linked1.o': No such file or directory (2)
[...]
Upon investigation, I discovered that the btf_types referenced in the '.ksyms'
section had a kind of BTF_KIND_FUNC instead of BTF_KIND_VAR:
$ bpftool btf dump file ./ip_check_defrag.bpf.linked1.o
[...]
[2] DATASEC '.ksyms' size=0 vlen=2
type_id=16 offset=0 size=0 (FUNC 'bpf_dynptr_from_skb')
type_id=17 offset=0 size=0 (FUNC 'bpf_dynptr_slice')
[...]
[16] FUNC 'bpf_dynptr_from_skb' type_id=82 linkage=extern
[17] FUNC 'bpf_dynptr_slice' type_id=85 linkage=extern
[...]
For a detailed analysis, please refer to [2]. We can add a kind checking to
fix the issue.
