Subject: [PATCH dwarves v1 0/3] btf_encoder: support for BPF magic kernel functions
Date: Wed, 29 Oct 2025 12:02:46 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251029190249.3323752-1-ihor.solodrai@linux.dev> (raw)

This series implements BTF encoding of BPF kernel functions marked
with KF_MAGIC_ARGS flag in pahole.

The kfunc flag indicates that the arguments of a kfunc with __magic
suffix are implicitly set by the verifier, and so pahole must emit two
functions to BTF:
  * kfunc_impl() with the arguments matching kernel declaration
  * kfunc() with __magic arguments omitted

For more details see relevant patch series for BPF:
"bpf: magic kernel functions"

This series is built upon KF_IMPLICIT_PROG_AUX_ARG support [1],
although the approach changed signifcantly to call it a v2.
