As BPF applications grow in size and complexity and are separated into multiple .bpf.c files that are statically linked together, it becomes harder and harder to match verifier's BPF assembly level output to original C code. While often annotated C source code is unique enough to be able to identify the file it belongs to, quite often this is actually problematic as parts of source code can be quite generic. Long story short, it is very useful to see source code file name and line number information along with the original C code. Verifier already knows this information, we just need to output it. This patch extends verifier log with file name and line number information, emitted next to original (presumably C) source code, annotating BPF assembly output, like so: ; <original C code> @ <filename>.bpf.c:<line> If file name has directory names in it, they are stripped away. This should be fine in practice as file names tend to be pretty unique with C code anyways, and keeping log size smaller is always good. In practice this might look something like below, where some code is coming from application files, while others are from libbpf's usdt.bpf.h header file: ; if (STROBEMETA_READ( @ strobemeta_probe.bpf.c:534 5592: (79) r1 = *(u64 *)(r10 -56) ; R1_w=mem_or_null(id=1589,sz=7680) R10=fp0 5593: (7b) *(u64 *)(r10 -56) = r1 ; R1_w=mem_or_null(id=1589,sz=7680) R10=fp0 5594: (79) r3 = *(u64 *)(r10 -8) ; R3_w=scalar() R10=fp0 fp-8=mmmmmmmm ... 170: (71) r1 = *(u8 *)(r8 +15) ; frame1: R1_w=scalar(...)

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.
