Subject: [PATCH bpf-next] libbpf: fix sym_is_subprog() logic for weak global subprogs
Date: Tue,  8 Oct 2024 18:15:54 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241009011554.880168-1-andrii@kernel.org> (raw)

sym_is_subprog() is incorrectly rejecting relocations against *weak*
global subprogs. Fix that by realizing that STB_WEAK is also a global
function.

While it seems like verifier doesn't support taking an address of
non-static subprog right now, it's still best to fix support for it on
libbpf side, otherwise users will get a very confusing error during BPF
skeleton generation or static linking due to misinterpreted relocation:

  libbpf: prog 'handle_tp': bad map relo against 'foo' in section '.text'
  Error: failed to open BPF object file: Relocation failed

It's clearly not a map relocation, but is treated and reported as such
without this fix.

Fixes: 53eddb5e04ac ("libbpf: Support subprog address relocation")
