On kernel that don't support arg:ctx tag, before adjusting global subprog BTF information to match kernel's expected canonical type names, make sure that types used by user are meaningful, and if not, warn and don't do BTF adjustments. This is similar to checks that kernel performs, but narrower in scope, as only a small subset of BPF program types can be accommodated by libbpf using canonical type names. Libbpf unconditionally allows `struct pt_regs *` for perf_event program types, unlike kernel, which supports that conditionally on architecture. This is done to keep things simple and not cause unnecessary false positives. This seems like a minor and harmless deviation, which in real-world programs will be caught by kernels with arg:ctx tag support anyways. So KISS principle. This logic is hard to test (especially on latest kernels), so manual testing was performed instead. Libbpf emitted the following warning for perf_event program with wrong context argument type: libbpf: prog 'arg_tag_ctx_perf': subprog 'subprog_ctx_tag' arg#0 is expected to be of `struct bpf_perf_event_data *` type Signed-off-by: Andrii Nakryiko <andrii@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240118033143.3384355-6-andrii@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>
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.
