With latest clang18, I hit test_progs failures for the following test: #13/2 bpf_cookie/multi_kprobe_link_api:FAIL #13/3 bpf_cookie/multi_kprobe_attach_api:FAIL #13 bpf_cookie:FAIL #75 fentry_fexit:FAIL #76/1 fentry_test/fentry:FAIL #76 fentry_test:FAIL #80/1 fexit_test/fexit:FAIL #80 fexit_test:FAIL #110/1 kprobe_multi_test/skel_api:FAIL #110/2 kprobe_multi_test/link_api_addrs:FAIL #110/3 kprobe_multi_test/link_api_syms:FAIL #110/4 kprobe_multi_test/attach_api_pattern:FAIL #110/5 kprobe_multi_test/attach_api_addrs:FAIL #110/6 kprobe_multi_test/attach_api_syms:FAIL #110 kprobe_multi_test:FAIL For example, for #13/2, the error messages are: [...] kprobe_multi_test_run:FAIL:kprobe_test7_result unexpected kprobe_test7_result: actual 0 != expected 1 [...] kprobe_multi_test_run:FAIL:kretprobe_test7_result unexpected kretprobe_test7_result: actual 0 != expected 1 clang17 does not have this issue. Further investigation shows that kernel func bpf_fentry_test7(), used in the above tests, is inlined by the compiler although it is marked as noinline. int noinline bpf_fentry_test7(struct bpf_fentry_test_t *arg) { return (long)arg; } It is known that for simple functions like the above (e.g. just returning a constant or an input argument), the clang compiler may still do inlining for a noinline function. Adding 'asm volatile ("")' in the beginning of the bpf_fentry_test7() can prevent inlining.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
