From: Tony Ambardar Date: Sun, 26 Jul 2020 14:51:34 +0000 (-0700) Subject: build: add option KERNEL_DEBUG_INFO_BTF X-Git-Url: http://git.cdn.openwrt.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=531e0399cd7fca9e1a88520b817ac036da204c1c;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fsvanheule.git build: add option KERNEL_DEBUG_INFO_BTF Generate BTF (BPF Type Format) information from DWARF debug info. This is embedded in the kernel and exported via sysfs as /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux. BTF data enhances kernel portability and introspection for BPF programs. Selecting this also enables the dwarves host package which provides the pahole tool used for BTF encoding. Test using: "bpftool btf dump file /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux format c" This needs to depend on KERNEL_DEBUG_INFO_REDUCED not being set, otherwise we can enable both KERNEL_DEBUG_INFO_BTF and KERNEL_DEBUG_INFO_REDUCED, which will result in undefined behaviour.
