From 8b7b0e5fe47de90ba6c350f9abece589fb637f79 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Vernet Date: Fri, 8 Dec 2023 00:17:03 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] bpf: Load vmlinux btf for any struct_ops map In libbpf, when determining whether we need to load vmlinux btf, we're currently (among other things) checking whether there is any struct_ops program present in the object. This works for most realistic struct_ops maps, as a struct_ops map is of course typically composed of one or more struct_ops programs. However, that technically need not be the case. A struct_ops interface could be defined which allows a map to be specified which one or more non-prog fields, and which provides default behavior if no struct_ops progs is actually provided otherwise. For sched_ext, for example, you technically only need to specify the name of the scheduler in the struct_ops map, with the core scheduler logic providing default behavior if no prog is actually specified. If we were to define and try to load such a struct_ops map, we would crash in libbpf when initializing it as obj->btf_vmlinux will be NULL: Reading symbols from minimal...
