To avoid kernel build failure due to some missing .BTF-ids referenced
functions/types, the patch ([1]) tries to fill btf_id 0 for
these types.
In bpf verifier, for percpu variable and helper returning btf_id cases,
verifier already emitted proper warning with something like
verbose(env, "Helper has invalid btf_id in R%d\n", regno);
verbose(env, "invalid return type %d of func %s#%d\n",
fn->ret_type, func_id_name(func_id), func_id);
But this is not the case for bpf_iter context arguments.
I hacked resolve_btfids to encode btf_id 0 for struct task_struct.
With `./test_progs -n 7/5`, I got,
0: (79) r2 = *(u64 *)(r1 +0)
func 'bpf_iter_task' arg0 has btf_id 29739 type STRUCT 'bpf_iter_meta'
; struct seq_file *seq = ctx->meta->seq;
1: (79) r6 = *(u64 *)(r2 +0)
; struct task_struct *task = ctx->task;
2: (79) r7 = *(u64 *)(r1 +8)
; if (task == (void *)0) {
3: (55) if r7 != 0x0 goto pc+11
...
; BPF_SEQ_PRINTF(seq, "%8d %8d\n", task->tgid, task->pid);
26: (61) r1 = *(u32 *)(r7 +1372)
Type '(anon)' is not a struct
Basically, verifier will return btf_id 0 for task_struct.
Later on, when the code tries to access task->tgid, the
verifier correctly complains the type is '(anon)' and it is
not a struct. Users still need to backtrace to find out
what is going on.
Let us catch the invalid btf_id 0 earlier
and provide better message indicating btf_id is wrong.
The new error message looks like below:
R1 type=ctx expected=fp
; struct seq_file *seq = ctx->meta->seq;
0: (79) r2 = *(u64 *)(r1 +0)
func 'bpf_iter_task' arg0 has btf_id 29739 type STRUCT 'bpf_iter_meta'
; struct seq_file *seq = ctx->meta->seq;
1: (79) r6 = *(u64 *)(r2 +0)
; struct task_struct *task = ctx->task;
2: (79) r7 = *(u64 *)(r1 +8)
invalid btf_id for context argument offset 8
invalid bpf_context access off=8 size=8

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.
