Subject: [PATCH dwarves 0/4] btf: support btf_type_tag attribute
Date: Wed, 17 Nov 2021 12:22:14 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211117202214.3268824-1-yhs@fb.com> (raw)
btf_type_tag is a new llvm type attribute which is used similar
to kernel __user/__rcu attributes. The format of btf_type_tag looks like
__attribute__((btf_type_tag("tag1")))
For the case where the attribute applied to a pointee like
#define __tag1 __attribute__((btf_type_tag("tag1")))
#define __tag2 __attribute__((btf_type_tag("tag2")))
int __tag1 * __tag1 __tag2 *g;
the information will be encoded in dwarf.
In BTF, the attribute is encoded as a new kind
BTF_KIND_TYPE_TAG and latest bpf-next supports it.
The patch added support in pahole, specifically
converts llvm dwarf btf_type_tag attributes to
BTF types. Please see individual patches for details.
