tools/resolve_btfids: Emit warnings and patch zero id for missing symbols

2026-07-24T13:49:24+00:00

commit 5aad03685185b5133a28e1ee1d4e98d3fd3642a3 upstream. Kernel functions referenced by .BTF_ids may be changed from global to static and get inlined or get renamed/removed, and thus disappears from BTF. This causes kernel build failure when resolve_btfids do id patch for symbols in .BTF_ids in vmlinux. Update resolve_btfids to emit warning messages and patch zero id for missing symbols instead of aborting kernel build process.

bpftool: Use libbpf error code for flow dissector query

2026-07-24T13:48:58+00:00

[ Upstream commit 8a7f2bff2165e53595d1e91c160b340f978c0ab7 ] bpf_prog_query() returns a negative errno on failure. query_flow_dissector() currently closes the namespace fd and then reads errno to decide whether -EINVAL means that the running kernel does not support flow dissector queries. That errno check controls behavior, not just diagnostics: -EINVAL is handled as a non-fatal old-kernel case, while any other error makes bpftool net fail. The namespace fd is opened read-only, so close() is not expected to commonly fail in normal use. Still, the BPF_PROG_QUERY error is already available in err, and reading errno after an intervening close() is fragile. If close() does change errno, the compatibility branch may be based on close()'s error instead of the BPF_PROG_QUERY result. This was reproduced with an LD_PRELOAD fault injector that forced BPF_PROG_QUERY for BPF_FLOW_DISSECTOR to fail with EINVAL and then forced close() on the netns fd to fail with EIO. The unpatched bpftool reported "can't query prog: Input/output error". With this change, the same injected failure is handled as the intended non-fatal EINVAL compatibility case. Use the libbpf-returned error code instead. Keep the existing errno reset in the non-fatal path to preserve batch mode behavior. The success path is unchanged.

bpftool: Fix memory leak in dump_xx_nlmsg on realloc failure

2025-08-28T14:22:32+00:00

[ Upstream commit 99fe8af069a9fa5b09140518b1364e35713a642e ] In function dump_xx_nlmsg(), when realloc() fails to allocate memory, the original pointer to the buffer is overwritten with NULL. This causes a memory leak because the previously allocated buffer becomes unreachable without being freed.

bpftool: Fix readlink usage in get_fd_type

2025-06-04T12:37:06+00:00

[ Upstream commit 0053f7d39d491b6138d7c526876d13885cbb65f1 ] The `readlink(path, buf, sizeof(buf))` call reads at most sizeof(buf) bytes and *does not* append null-terminator to buf. With respect to that, fix two pieces in get_fd_type: 1. Change the truncation check to contain sizeof(buf) rather than sizeof(path). 2. Append null-terminator to buf. Reported by Coverity.

bpf: Fix potential integer overflow in resolve_btfids

2024-06-16T11:32:28+00:00

[ Upstream commit 44382b3ed6b2787710c8ade06c0e97f5970a47c8 ] err is a 32-bit integer, but elf_update returns an off_t, which is 64-bit at least on 64-bit platforms. If symbols_patch is called on a binary between 2-4GB in size, the result will be negative when cast to a 32-bit integer, which the code assumes means an error occurred. This can wrongly trigger build failures when building very large kernel images.
