Issues with bpf_trace_printk

[Zvi Effron <zeffron@riotgames.com>]

Hello,

I'm having an issue where bpf_trace_printk seems to always print 0 for
values. I'm running the following xdp program:


#include <uapi/linux/bpf.h>

static int (*bpf_trace_printk)(const char *fmt, int fmt_size, ...) =
(void *) BPF_FUNC_trace_printk;

int xdp(struct xdp_md *ctx) {
    char format_string[] = "Data start: %x\tData end: %x\n";
    bpf_trace_printk(format_string, sizeof(format_string), ctx->data,
ctx->data_end);

    {
        char format_string[] = "Constant: %x\n";
        bpf_trace_printk(format_string, sizeof(format_string), 1);
    }

    if (ctx->data == 0) {
        char format_string[] = "Data starts at offset 0";
        bpf_trace_printk(format_string, sizeof(format_string));
    }
    if (ctx->data_end == 0) {
        char format_string[] = "Data ends at offset 0";
        bpf_trace_printk(format_string, sizeof(format_string));
    }
    return XDP_PASS;
}

char __attribute__((section("license"), used)) license[] = "GPL";


and I get the following output in /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe

It looks like ctx->data and ctx->data_end are not 0, because the calls
to bpf_trace_printk in those ifs aren't being called, and the constant
is definitely not 0.

What might I be missing or doing incorrectly?

Thank you!
