[PATCH bpf-next v3 4/6] lib/Kconfig.debug: Set the minimum required pahole version to v1.22
Posted by Ihor Solodrai 1 week, 3 days ago
Subsequent patches in the series change vmlinux linking scripts to
unconditionally pass --btf_encode_detached to pahole, which was
introduced in v1.22 [1][2].

This change allows to remove PAHOLE_HAS_SPLIT_BTF Kconfig option and
other checks of older pahole versions.

hi Ihor, a small suggestion here, and it is orthogonal to what you're 
doing here, so just for consideration if you're planning a v4 since you're 
touching this file.

We've had problems in the past because we get pahole version from .config
in Makefile.btf

pahole-ver := $(CONFIG_PAHOLE_VERSION)

and it can be outdated.

Specifically the problem is that if "make oldconfig" is not run after
updating pahole we don't get the actual pahole version during builds
and options can be missing. See [1] for an example, but perhaps we
should do

pahole-ver := $(shell $(srctree)/scripts/pahole-version.sh)

in Makefile.btf to ensure the value reflects latest pahole and that
then determines which options we use? Andrii suggested an approach like
CC_VERSION_TEXT might be worth pursuing; AFAICT that recomputes the
CC_VERSION and warns the user if there is a version difference. Given that
the CONFIG pahole version requirements are all pretty modest - it might
simply be enough to recompute it in Makefile.btf and perhaps ensure it's 
not less than CONFIG_PAHOLE_VERSION. Just a thought anyway. Thanks!

Alan

Hi Alan. v4 for sure, and maybe even v5, we'll see.

Yeah, I am aware of the issue.

I am not sure version refresh in Makefile.btf would be enough, since
there are config dependencies in Kconfig.debug.  So we either need to
trigger re-config, and maybe even force full kernel re-build, or
somehow get rid of the version checks in the kconfig, which may be a
challenge.

I think the simplest thing we could is to check if the version has
changed and fail the build. That's a "panic!" approach though.

I'll look into how compiler versions are checked, maybe it's not that
hard to add similar behavior for pahole.

this should be unconditional given we expect at least 1.22, no?

Yes, it can be unconditional, but still under if ver < 125.

The PAHOLE_HAS_SPLIT_BTF config option was removed here.

The PAHOLE_HAS_SPLIT_BTF reference was removed from
tools/sched_ext/README.md, but Documentation/scheduler/sched-ext.rst
still contains this config option at line 46. Should that documentation

Yes. I thought I removed it, but the change got lost in translation.
