Subject: [PATCH bpf] libbpf: Fix implicit memfd_create() for bionic
Date: Sun, 30 Mar 2025 21:13:23 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250330211325.530677-1-cmllamas@google.com> (raw)

Since memfd_create() is not consistently available across different
bionic libc implementations, using memfd_create() directly can break
some Android builds:

  tools/lib/bpf/linker.c:576:7: error: implicit declaration of function 'memfd_create' [-Werror,-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
    576 |         fd = memfd_create(filename, 0);
        |              ^

To fix this, relocate and inline the sys_memfd_create() helper so that
it can be used in "linker.c". Similar issues were previously fixed by
commit 9fa5e1a180aa ("libbpf: Call memfd_create() syscall directly").
