tools/libbpf: handle issues with bpf ELF objects containing .eh_frames

2018-05-30T05:50:26Z

[ Upstream commit e3d91b0ca523d53158f435a3e13df7f0cb360ea2 ] V3: More generic skipping of relo-section (suggested by Daniel) If clang >= 4.0.1 is missing the option '-target bpf', it will cause llc/llvm to create two ELF sections for "Exception Frames", with section names '.eh_frame' and '.rel.eh_frame'. The BPF ELF loader library libbpf fails when loading files with these sections. The other in-kernel BPF ELF loader in samples/bpf/bpf_load.c, handle this gracefully. And iproute2 loader also seems to work with these "eh" sections. The issue in libbpf is caused by bpf_object__elf_collect() skipping some sections, and later when performing relocation it will be pointing to a skipped section, as these sections cannot be found by bpf_object__find_prog_by_idx() in bpf_object__collect_reloc(). This is a general issue that also occurs for other sections, like debug sections which are also skipped and can have relo section. As suggested by Daniel. To avoid keeping state about all skipped sections, instead perform a direct qlookup in the ELF object. Lookup the section that the relo-section points to and check if it contains executable machine instructions (denoted by the sh_flags SHF_EXECINSTR). Use this check to also skip irrelevant relo-sections. Note, for samples/bpf/ the '-target bpf' parameter to clang cannot be used due to incompatibility with asm embedded headers, that some of the samples include. This is explained in more details by Yonghong Song in bpf_devel_QA. Signed-off-by: Jesper Dangaard Brouer Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

tools lib bpf: Use official ELF e_machine value

2016-07-26T13:08:53Z

New LLVM will issue newly assigned EM_BPF machine code. The new code will be propagated to glibc and libelf. This patch introduces the new machine code to libbpf.
