Commit Message

Tony Ambardar Sept. 16, 2024, 8:37 a.m. UTC
Support for handling BTF data of either endianness was added in [1], but
did not include BTF.ext data for lack of use cases. Later, support for
static linking [2] provided a use case, but this feature and later ones
were restricted to native-endian usage.

Add support for BTF.ext handling in either endianness. Convert BTF.ext data
to native endianness when read into memory for further processing, and
support raw data access that restores the original byte-order for output.
Add internal header functions for byte-swapping func, line, and core info
records.

Add new API functions btf_ext__endianness() and btf_ext__set_endianness()
for query and setting byte-order, as already exist for BTF data.

[2] 8fd27bf69b86 ("libbpf: Add BPF static linker BTF and BTF.ext support")

ok, so the way you define min_rec_size and rec_size is actually
broken. bpf_func_info, bpf_line_info, and now also bpf_core_relo all
come from kernel UAPI header, and it could happen that libbpf is
compiled against newest definitions of them without actually
"knowing"/supporting those newer and bigger struct definitions. So
assuming that sizeof(struct bpf_line_info) is a correct expected
record size is wrong.

As it is right now, min_rec_size is *the* rec_size, so I removed that
part and updated this check to record_size != ext_sec->min_rec_size.
If we ever extend .BTF.ext records, we'll need to add a bit more code
to accomodate for that.

missing #include <byteswap.h> in libbpf_internal.h, you added too late
(in the next patch). I moved that include into this patch/commit to
not break bisectability, please be careful about things like that

Do we need the endline in _Static_assert() messages? And generally I
think this is a bit too paranoid to check that that enum is backed by
u32, I just dropped the assertion. This is part of kernel UAPI, it
shouldn't change.
