Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2] selftests/bpf: Fix flakiness of task_local_storage/sys_enter_exit
Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2026 13:12:02 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260224211202.214325-1-ihor.solodrai@linux.dev> (raw)

The test_sys_enter_exit test was setting target_pid before attaching
the BPF programs, which causes syscalls made during the attach phase
to be counted. This is flaky because, apparently, there is no
guarantee that both on_enter and on_exit will trigger during the
attachment.

Move the target_pid assignment to after task_local_storage__attach()
so that only explicit sys_gettid() calls are counted.

Reported-by: BPF CI Bot (Claude Opus 4.6) <bot+bpf-ci@kernel.org>
Closes: https://github.com/kernel-patches/vmtest/issues/448
