Subject: [PATCH 18/31] pahole: Fix parse_btf_features("all") being a silent no-op
Date: Wed, 29 Jul 2026 16:07:18 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260729190733.72876-19-acme@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260729190733.72876-1-acme@kernel.org>
From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
"all" was not recognized as a feature name, so
parse_btf_features("all") silently did nothing — no features were
enabled and no error was reported.
Add btf_features__enable_all() that enables every feature in the
btf_features[] table, and wire it into parse_btf_features() both as
a standalone value and as a token in comma-separated lists.
Before: --btf_features=all silently enabled nothing.
After: --btf_features=all enables all features in the table.
Fixes: 7bc9b9975545ab53 ("pahole: Add --btf_features support")
