Subject: [PATCH 1/2] selftests/ftrace: Force C locale for readelf in uprobe test
Date: Thu, 6 Aug 2026 16:31:00 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260806083101.2651025-1-qirui.001@bytedance.com> (raw)
The add_remove_uprobe test parses the entry point from readelf -h output
by looking for the English "Entry" field. readelf output is localized
via gettext, while the ftracetest runner does not force LC_ALL=C and the
top-level Makefile leaves LANG effective for child processes.
If readelf prints a translated field name, ENTRYPOINT becomes empty and
the uprobe_events write is rejected because the offset after PATH: is
missing.
Run readelf with LC_ALL=C so the parsed header field remains stable
across locales.
