tl;dr - building the kernel with clang and lto breaks BTF generation because
pahole doesn't seem to understand cross-cu references.
Can be reproduced with the following:
$ cat a.c
struct s;
void f1() {}
__attribute__((always_inline)) void f2(struct s *p)
{
if (p)
f1();
}
$ cat b.c
struct s {
int x;
};
void f2(struct s *p);
int main()
{
struct s s = { 10 };
f2(&s);
}
$ clang -fuse-ld=lld -flto {a,b}.c -g
$ pahole a.out
tag__recode_dwarf_type: couldn't find 0x3f type for 0x99 (inlined_subroutine)!
lexblock__recode_dwarf_types: couldn't find 0x3f type for 0x99 (inlined_subroutine)!
struct s {
int x; /* 0 4 */
/* size: 4, cachelines: 1, members: 1 */
/* last cacheline: 4 bytes */
};
From what I can tell, pahole internally loops over each cu and resolves only
local references, while the dwarf spec (table 2.3) states the following
about 'reference':
"Refers to one of the debugging information entries that describe the program.
There are four types of reference. The first is an offset relative to the
beginning of the compilation unit in which the reference occurs and must
refer to an entry within that same compilation unit. The second type of
reference is the offset of a debugging information entry in any compilation
unit, including one different from the unit containing the reference. The
third type of reference is an indirect reference to a type definition using
an 8-byte signature for that type. The fourth type of reference is a reference
from within the .debug_info section of the executable or shared object file to
a debugging information entry in the .debug_info section of a supplementary
object file."
In particular: "The second type of reference is the offset of a debugging
information entry in any compilation unit, including one different from the
unit containing the reference."
So the question is: is it a (known) issue? Is it something that's ommitted
on purpose? Or it's not implemented because lto is not (yet) widely used?
Here is the dwarf:

Sure, we can definitely help with the implementation unless someone is already actively working on it. Just wanted to make sure that's a known problem. From my (limited) looking at pahole sources, it seems that building and index on the first pass and doing a second pass to resolve cross-cu references is relatively easy to implement. Am I missing anything? (not a dwarf expert in any sense). And where do the patches for pahole go?
