[ Upstream commit f4aba3471cfb9ccf69b476463f19b4c50fef6b14 ] LLVM 17 started treating const structs as constants: * https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/0b2d5b967d98 Combined with pointer laundering via ptr_to_u64, which takes a const ptr, but in reality treats the underlying memory as mutable, this makes clang always pass zero to btf__type_by_id, which breaks full name resolution. Disassembly before (LLVM 16) and after (LLVM 17): - 8b 75 cc mov -0x34(%rbp),%esi - e8 47 8d 02 00 call 3f5b0 <btf__type_by_id> + 31 f6 xor %esi,%esi + e8 a9 8c 02 00 call 3f510 <btf__type_by_id> It's a bigger project to fix this properly (and a question whether LLVM itself should detect this), but for right now let's just fix bpftool.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
