hi, I'm using the latest pahole from git tree: https://github.com/acmel/dwarves.git and getting pahole crash: LD vmlinux BTF vmlinux die__process_inline_expansion: DW_TAG_label (0xa) @ <0x3eef8> not handled! scripts/link-vmlinux.sh: line 96: 31222 Segmentation fault (core dumped) LLVM_OBJCOPY=${OBJCOPY} ${PAHOLE} -J ${1} make[1]: *** [/home/jolsa/linux/Makefile:1025: vmlinux] Error 139 make: *** [Makefile:170: sub-make] Error 2 is there some other source/dependency I'm missing? thanks, jirka > > [0] http://vger.kernel.org/lpc-bpf2018.html#session-2 > [1] > https://facebookmicrosites.github.io/bpf/blog/2018/11/14/btf-enhancement.html > > Cc: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masah...@socionext.com> > Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <a...@redhat.com> > Cc: Daniel Borkmann <dan...@iogearbox.net> > Cc: Alexei Starovoitov <a...@fb.com> > Cc: Yonghong Song <y...@fb.com> > Cc: Martin KaFai Lau <ka...@fb.com> > Signed-off-by: Andrii Nakryiko <andr...@fb.com> > --- > Makefile | 3 ++- > lib/Kconfig.debug | 8 ++++++++ > scripts/link-vmlinux.sh | 20 +++++++++++++++++++- > 3 files changed, 29 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile > index d5713e7b1e50..a55308147a09 100644 > --- a/Makefile > +++ b/Makefile > @@ -387,6 +387,7 @@ NM = $(CROSS_COMPILE)nm > STRIP = $(CROSS_COMPILE)strip > OBJCOPY = $(CROSS_COMPILE)objcopy > OBJDUMP = $(CROSS_COMPILE)objdump > +PAHOLE = pahole > LEX = flex > YACC = bison > AWK = awk > @@ -442,7 +443,7 @@ KBUILD_LDFLAGS := > GCC_PLUGINS_CFLAGS := > > export ARCH SRCARCH CONFIG_SHELL HOSTCC KBUILD_HOSTCFLAGS CROSS_COMPILE AS > LD CC > -export CPP AR NM STRIP OBJCOPY OBJDUMP KBUILD_HOSTLDFLAGS KBUILD_HOSTLDLIBS > +export CPP AR NM STRIP OBJCOPY OBJDUMP PAHOLE KBUILD_HOSTLDFLAGS > KBUILD_HOSTLDLIBS > export MAKE LEX YACC AWK GENKSYMS INSTALLKERNEL PERL PYTHON PYTHON2 PYTHON3 > UTS_MACHINE > export HOSTCXX KBUILD_HOSTCXXFLAGS LDFLAGS_MODULE CHECK CHECKFLAGS > > diff --git a/lib/Kconfig.debug b/lib/Kconfig.debug > index d4df5b24d75e..cce78dcd19a2 100644 > --- a/lib/Kconfig.debug > +++ b/lib/Kconfig.debug > @@ -200,6 +200,14 @@ config DEBUG_INFO_DWARF4 > But it significantly improves the success of resolving > variables in gdb on optimized code. > > +config DEBUG_INFO_BTF > + bool "Generate BTF typeinfo" > + depends on DEBUG_INFO > + help > + Generate deduplicated BTF type information from DWARF debug info. > + Turning this on expects presence of pahole tool, which will convert > + DWARF type info into equivalent deduplicated BTF type info. > + > config GDB_SCRIPTS > bool "Provide GDB scripts for kernel debugging" > depends on DEBUG_INFO > diff --git a/scripts/link-vmlinux.sh b/scripts/link-vmlinux.sh > index c8cf45362bd6..73bb7dfdc2c9 100755 > --- a/scripts/link-vmlinux.sh > +++ b/scripts/link-vmlinux.sh > @@ -40,7 +40,7 @@ set -e > info() > { > if [ "${quiet}" != "silent_" ]; then > - printf " %-7s %s\n" ${1} ${2} > + printf " %-7s %s\n" "${1}" "${2}" > fi > } > > @@ -114,6 +114,20 @@ vmlinux_link() > fi > } > > +# generate .BTF typeinfo from DWARF debuginfo > +gen_btf() > +{ > + local pahole_ver; > + > + pahole_ver=$(${PAHOLE} --version | sed -E 's/v([0-9]+)\.([0-9]+)/\1\2/') > + if [ "${pahole_ver}" -lt "113" ]; then > + info "BTF" "${1}: pahole version $(${PAHOLE} --version) is too > old, need at least v1.13" > + exit 0 > + fi > + > + info "BTF" ${1} > + LLVM_OBJCOPY=${OBJCOPY} ${PAHOLE} -J ${1} > +} > > # Create ${2} .o file with all symbols from the ${1} object file > kallsyms() > @@ -281,6 +295,10 @@ fi > info LD vmlinux > vmlinux_link "${kallsymso}" vmlinux > > +if [ -n "${CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF}" ]; then > + gen_btf vmlinux > +fi > + > if [ -n "${CONFIG_BUILDTIME_EXTABLE_SORT}" ]; then > info SORTEX vmlinux > sortextable vmlinux > -- > 2.17.1 >
