Subject: Re: Segfault in pahole 1.18 when building kernel 5.9.1 for arm64
Thanks for reporting this and cc'ing me. I forgot to update the error
messages when renaming the flags. I will send a patch to fix the error
message.
The commit
commit f3d9054ba8ff1df0fc44e507e3a01c0964cabd42
Author: Hao Luo <haoluo@...gle.com>
AuthorDate: Wed Jul 8 13:44:10 2020 -0700
btf_encoder: Teach pahole to store percpu variables in vmlinux BTF.
encodes kernel global variables into BTF so that bpf programs can
directly access them. If there is no need to access kernel global
variables, it's perfectly fine to use '--btf_encode_force' to skip
encoding bad symbols into BTF, or '--skip_encoding_btf_vars' to skip
encoding all global vars all together. I will add these info into the
updated error message.
Also cc bpf folks for attention of this bug.
