perf subcmd: avoid crash in exclude_cmds when excludes is empty

2025-10-29T12:59:45+00:00

[ Upstream commit a5edf3550f4260504b7e0ab3d40d13ffe924b773 ]

When cross-compiling the perf tool for ARM64, `perf help` may crash
with the following assertion failure:

  help.c:122: exclude_cmds: Assertion `cmds->names[ci] == NULL' failed.

This happens when the perf binary is not named exactly "perf" or when
multiple "perf-*" binaries exist in the same directory. In such cases,
the `excludes` command list can be empty, which leads to the final
assertion in exclude_cmds() being triggered.

Add a simple guard at the beginning of exclude_cmds() to return early
if excludes->cnt is zero, preventing the crash.

libbpf: Add NULL checks to bpf_object__{prev_map,next_map}

2024-09-12T09:03:54+00:00

[ Upstream commit cedc12c5b57f7efa6dbebfb2b140e8675f5a2616 ]

In the current state, an erroneous call to
bpf_object__find_map_by_name(NULL, ...) leads to a segmentation
fault through the following call chain:

  bpf_object__find_map_by_name(obj = NULL, ...)
  -> bpf_object__for_each_map(pos, obj = NULL)
  -> bpf_object__next_map((obj = NULL), NULL)
  -> return (obj = NULL)->maps

While calling bpf_object__find_map_by_name with obj = NULL is
obviously incorrect, this should not lead to a segmentation
fault but rather be handled gracefully.

As __bpf_map__iter already handles this situation correctly, we
can delegate the check for the regular case there and only add
a check in case the prev or next parameter is NULL.

libbpf: Fix no-args func prototype BTF dumping syntax

2024-08-19T03:33:41+00:00

[ Upstream commit 189f1a976e426011e6a5588f1d3ceedf71fe2965 ]

For all these years libbpf's BTF dumper has been emitting not strictly
valid syntax for function prototypes that have no input arguments.

Instead of `int (*blah)()` we should emit `int (*blah)(void)`.

This is not normally a problem, but it manifests when we get kfuncs in
vmlinux.h that have no input arguments. Due to compiler internal
specifics, we get no BTF information for such kfuncs, if they are not
declared with proper `(void)`.

The fix is trivial. We also need to adjust a few ancient tests that
happily assumed `()` is correct.

libbpf: Fix the name of a reused map

2022-08-25T09:17:43+00:00

[ Upstream commit bf3f00378524adae16628cbadbd11ba7211863bb ]

BPF map name is limited to BPF_OBJ_NAME_LEN.
A map name is defined as being longer than BPF_OBJ_NAME_LEN,
it will be truncated to BPF_OBJ_NAME_LEN when a userspace program
calls libbpf to create the map. A pinned map also generates a path
in the /sys. If the previous program wanted to reuse the map，
it can not get bpf_map by name, because the name of the map is only
partially the same as the name which get from pinned path.

The syscall information below show that map name "process_pinned_map"
is truncated to "process_pinned_".

    bpf(BPF_OBJ_GET, {pathname="/sys/fs/bpf/process_pinned_map",
    bpf_fd=0, file_flags=0}, 144) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

    bpf(BPF_MAP_CREATE, {map_type=BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH, key_size=4,
    value_size=4,max_entries=1024, map_flags=0, inner_map_fd=0,
    map_name="process_pinned_",map_ifindex=0, btf_fd=3, btf_key_type_id=6,
    btf_value_type_id=10,btf_vmlinux_value_type_id=0}, 72) = 4

This patch check that if the name of pinned map are the same as the
actual name for the first (BPF_OBJ_NAME_LEN - 1),
bpf map still uses the name which is included in bpf object.

libbpf: Skip forward declaration when counting duplicated type names

2022-04-15T12:18:14+00:00

[ Upstream commit 4226961b0019b2e1612029e8950a9e911affc995 ]

Currently if a declaration appears in the BTF before the definition, the
definition is dumped as a conflicting name, e.g.:

    $ bpftool btf dump file vmlinux format raw | grep "'unix_sock'"
    [81287] FWD 'unix_sock' fwd_kind=struct
    [89336] STRUCT 'unix_sock' size=1024 vlen=14

    $ bpftool btf dump file vmlinux format c | grep "struct unix_sock"
    struct unix_sock;
    struct unix_sock___2 {	<--- conflict, the "___2" is unexpected
		    struct unix_sock___2 *unix_sk;

This causes a compilation error if the dump output is used as a header file.

Fix it by skipping declaration when counting duplicated type names.

libsubcmd: Fix use-after-free for realloc(..., 0)

libbpf: Fix BTF data layout checks and allow empty BTF

2021-11-17T08:48:39+00:00

[ Upstream commit d8123624506cd62730c9cd9c7672c698e462703d ]

Make data section layout checks stricter, disallowing overlap of types and
strings data.

Additionally, allow BTFs with no type data. There is nothing inherently wrong
with having BTF with no types (put potentially with some strings). This could
be a situation with kernel module BTFs, if module doesn't introduce any new
type information.

Also fix invalid offset alignment check for btf->hdr->type_off.
