Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v4 05/17] selftests/bpf: Cover unknown BTF header-extension bytes in bpftool C dumps
Date: Thu, 5 Nov 2026 10:58:33 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261105175845.30357-6-ihor.solodrai@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261105175845.30357-1-ihor.solodrai@linux.dev>
libbpf can parse BTF whose header carries unknown nonzero extension
bytes, such as BTF from a newer kernel, but refuses to modify it.
bpftool dumps C through a split BTF over the input, so that it can
annotate the dump without modifying the input.
Check that a C dump of such BTF matches the dump of the same BTF
without the extension bytes.
