Subject: [PATCH v3 bpf-next 09/11] bpftool: Add ability to dump LOC_PARAM, LOC_PROTO and LOCSEC
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2026 08:41:16 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260916074118.1007116-10-alan.maguire@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260916074118.1007116-1-alan.maguire@oracle.com>
In raw mode ensure we can dump new BTF kinds in normal/json format.
BTF_KIND_LOC_PARAMs are rendered as strings, for example a
const value of 0x2a and a dereference of r10 + 0x20:
[12] LOC_PARAM '(anon)' size=4 flags=0x2 vlen=1 values='0x2a'
[13] LOC_PARAM '(anon)' size=8 flags=0x38 vlen=2 values='*(r10 + 0x20)'
LOC_PROTOs render the associated values of each of their
LOC_PARAMs for easier readability:
[14] LOC_PROTO '(anon)' vlen=2
type_id=12 value='r1'
type_id=13 value='*(r2 + 0x10)'
and LOCSEC shows function name associated with site:
[15] LOCSEC 'inline.text' vlen=1
name=foo func_type_id=5 loc_proto_type_id=14 offset=64
