Subject: [PATCH bpf v3 5/5] selftests/bpf: Add test for showing a void BTF type
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2026 19:01:10 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260831110314.150870-6-jiayuan.chen@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260831110314.150870-1-jiayuan.chen@linux.dev>

Call bpf_snprintf_btf() with type_ids from the vmlinux BTF that used to
NULL-deref in the BTF show path: a "const void" (checked to render the
"<unsupported kind:0>" placeholder) and a BTF_KIND_VAR (checked to render
without crashing). On an unfixed kernel each oopses the task (and panics
it under panic_on_oops), so the test doubles as a reproducer.
