Subject: [PATCH 1/2] btf_encoder: Make encoding vars into BTF optional.
Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2020 13:40:57 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200918204058.1030519-2-haoluo@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200918204058.1030519-1-haoluo@google.com>

Introduce an option --btf_encode_symbols to pahole so that pahole
will only encode global symbols upon request. On the kernel side,
we can add a Kconfig to turn on this feature. This would make the
rollout of pahole v1.18 safe against potential bugs in the feature
introduced in commit f3d9054ba8ff ("btf_encoder: Teach pahole to
store percpu variables in vmlinux BTF.").
