Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v1 0/4] bpftool, selftests: Add tests for C dump and fix a dropped type
Date: Wed, 19 Aug 2026 17:06:23 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260820000627.3826188-1-ihor.solodrai@linux.dev> (raw)

"bpftool btf dump format c" generates the vmlinux.h that BPF programs
are built against, and it has no direct test coverage. Building
against the header is not a substitute for testing it, nothing a
compiler accepts would break the build.

Patch #3 is an example of a bug that might have been caught by a
dedicated "format c" test.

Ihor Solodrai (4):
  selftests/bpf: NUL-terminate bpftool command output
  selftests/bpf: Add tests for bpftool btf dump format c
  bpftool: Don't drop a type in the sorted C dump
  selftests/bpf: Check that sorting preserves types in bpftool dump
