Subject: [PATCH bpf-next] Fix undefined symbol references for module build post cnum changes
Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2026 12:22:05 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260427112205.1346733-1-alan.maguire@oracle.com> (raw)
Seeing the following on bpf-next:
DESCEND objtool
DESCEND bpf/resolve_btfids
INSTALL libsubcmd_headers
INSTALL libsubcmd_headers
MODPOST Module.symvers
ERROR: modpost: "cnum64_umin" [drivers/net/ethernet/netronome/nfp/nfp.ko] undefined!
ERROR: modpost: "cnum64_umax" [drivers/net/ethernet/netronome/nfp/nfp.ko] undefined!
make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.modpost:147: Module.symvers] Error 1
make[1]: *** [bpf-next/Makefile:2089: modpost] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:248: __sub-make] Error 2
Further investigation suggests nfp indeed does pull in those symbols,
likely due to references in include/linux/bpf_verifier.h:
static inline s64 reg_smax(const struct bpf_reg_state *reg)
{
return cnum64_smax(reg->r64);
}
static inline u64 reg_umin(const struct bpf_reg_state *reg)
{
return cnum64_umin(reg->r64);
}
...
Export symbols for these references.

Fixes: bbc631085503 ("bpf: replace min/max fields with struct cnum{32,64}")
