I noticed perf test 40.1 dumps core on 5.13.0rc2 and rc3:
[root@f34 perf]# ./perf test -F 40
40: LLVM search and compile :
40.1: Basic BPF llvm compile :
libbpf: elf: skipping unrecognized data section(8) .eh_frame
libbpf: elf: skipping relo section(9) .rel.eh_frame for section(8) .eh_frame
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[root@f34 perf]#
The root cause is a NULL pointer reference in function btf__get_nr_types()
as can be seen with gdb:
Breakpoint 1, 0x000000000065f4b1 in btf__get_nr_types
(btf=btf@entry=0x0) at btf.c:425
425 return btf->start_id + btf->nr_types - 1;
This is the same function and reason why test case 42.1 Basic BPF filtering
fails and dumps core too.
The call chain is:
(gdb) where
#0 0x000000000065f4b1 in btf__get_nr_types (btf=btf@entry=0x0) at btf.c:425
#1 btf__find_by_name_kind (btf=btf@entry=0x0,
type_name=type_name@entry=0x928ab2 ".ksyms",
kind=kind@entry=15) at btf.c:696
#2 0x00000000006527fe in add_dummy_ksym_var (btf=0x0) at libbpf.c:3219

#7 bpf_object__open_mem (opts=0x7fffffffdb30, obj_buf_sz=1520,
obj_buf=0xd12fa0) at libbpf.c:7448
#8 bpf_object__open_buffer (obj_buf=0xd12fa0, obj_buf_sz=1520,
name=<optimized out>) at libbpf.c:7471
#9 0x00000000004c8c6e in test__bpf_parsing (obj_buf=0xd12fa0,

#10 0x00000000004c8fe2 in test__llvm (test=0xac7d20 <generic_tests+2496>,

...
I have no knowledge about BPF and why the core dump happens. Before
I start digging into this has anybody some hints on where to look?
Thanks a lot.

This looks like a bug in libbpf:
static int bpf_object__collect_externs(struct bpf_object *obj)
{
struct btf_type *sec, *kcfg_sec = NULL, *ksym_sec = NULL;
const struct btf_type *t;
struct extern_desc *ext;
int i, n, off, dummy_var_btf_id;
const char *ext_name, *sec_name;
Elf_Scn *scn;
GElf_Shdr sh;
if (!obj->efile.symbols)
return 0;
scn = elf_sec_by_idx(obj, obj->efile.symbols_shndx);
if (elf_sec_hdr(obj, scn, &sh))
return -LIBBPF_ERRNO__FORMAT;
dummy_var_btf_id = add_dummy_ksym_var(obj->btf);
if (dummy_var_btf_id < 0)
return dummy_var_btf_id;
obj->btf is NULL, so probably btf__find_by_name_kind() should check that
and return an error, Andrii?

This is already fixed in libbpf v0.4 ([0]). Can you please update
pahole's libbpf submodule sha?
