Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v4 09/17] selftests/bpf: Cover legacy arena type tags in bpftool C dumps
Date: Thu, 5 Nov 2026 10:58:37 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261105175845.30357-10-ihor.solodrai@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261105175845.30357-1-ihor.solodrai@linux.dev>
Older kernel BTF tags arena pointers in kfunc prototypes with a kflagged
"address_space(1)" type tag. bpftool prints such tags as the complete
attribute specifier.
Add bpftool_btf_dump subtests that dump a minimal BTF with an arena
kfunc in the legacy encoding, alone and as the base of a split BTF with
an arena kfunc of its own, dumped with -B as module BTF is. Check that
the C prototypes carry the complete specifier.
