[ Upstream commit aa52bcbe0e72fac36b1862db08b9c09c4caefae3 ] Michael reported crash with by bpf program in json mode on powerpc: # bpftool prog -p dump jited id 14 [{ "name": "0xd00000000a9aa760", "insns": [{ "pc": "0x0", "operation": "nop", "operands": [null ] },{ "pc": "0x4", "operation": "nop", "operands": [null ] },{ "pc": "0x8", "operation": "mflr", Segmentation fault (core dumped) The code is assuming char pointers in format, which is not always true at least for powerpc. Fixing this by dumping the whole string into buffer based on its format. Please note that libopcodes code does not check return values from fprintf callback, but as per Jakub suggestion returning -1 on allocation failure so we do the best effort to propagate the error.

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. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
