libbpf: Fix OOB read in btf_dump_get_bitfield_value

2026-02-26T23:00:45+00:00

[ Upstream commit 5714ca8cba5ed736f3733663c446cbee63a10a64 ] When dumping bitfield data, btf_dump_get_bitfield_value() reads data based on the underlying type's size (t->size). However, it does not verify that the provided data buffer (data_sz) is large enough to contain these bytes. If btf_dump__dump_type_data() is called with a buffer smaller than the type's size, this leads to an out-of-bounds read. This was confirmed by AddressSanitizer in the linked issue. Fix this by ensuring we do not read past the provided data_sz limit.

libbpf: Fix null pointer dereference in btf_dump__free on allocation failure

2025-06-23T18:13:40+00:00

When btf_dump__new() fails to allocate memory for the internal hashmap (btf_dump->type_names), it returns an error code. However, the cleanup function btf_dump__free() does not check if btf_dump->type_names is NULL before attempting to free it. This leads to a null pointer dereference when btf_dump__free() is called on a btf_dump object.

libbpf: Add support for printing BTF character arrays as strings

2025-06-05T20:45:16+00:00

The BTF dumper code currently displays arrays of characters as just that - arrays, with each character formatted individually. Sometimes this is what makes sense, but it's nice to be able to treat that array as a string. This change adds a special case to the btf_dump functionality to allow 0-terminated arrays of single-byte integer values to be printed as character strings. Characters for which isprint() returns false are printed as hex-escaped values. This is enabled when the new ".emit_strings" is set to 1 in the btf_dump_type_data_opts structure. As an example, here's what it looks like to dump the string "hello" using a few different field values for btf_dump_type_data_opts (.compact = 1): - .emit_strings = 0, .skip_names = 0: (char[6])['h','e','l','l','o',] - .emit_strings = 0, .skip_names = 1: ['h','e','l','l','o',] - .emit_strings = 1, .skip_names = 0: (char[6])"hello" - .emit_strings = 1, .skip_names = 1: "hello" Here's the string "h\xff", dumped with .compact = 1 and .skip_names = 1: - .emit_strings = 0: ['h',-1,] - .emit_strings = 1: "h\xff" Signed-off-by: Blake Jones Signed-off-by: Andrii Nakryiko Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20250603203701.520541-1-blakejones@google.com

libbpf: Check the kflag of type tags in btf_dump

If the kflag is set for a BTF type tag, then the tag represents an arbitrary __attribute__. Change btf_dump accordingly.

libbpf: Prevent compiler warnings/errors

2024-10-23T21:38:31+00:00

Initialize 'new_off' and 'pad_bits' to 0 and 'pad_type' to NULL in btf_dump_emit_bit_padding to prevent compiler warnings/errors which are observed when compiling with 'EXTRA_CFLAGS=-g -Og' options, but do not happen when compiling with current default options. For example, when compiling libbpf with $ make "EXTRA_CFLAGS=-g -Og" -C tools/lib/bpf/ clean all Clang version 17.0.6 and GCC 13.3.1 fail to compile btf_dump.c due to following errors: btf_dump.c: In function ‘btf_dump_emit_bit_padding’: btf_dump.c:903:42: error: ‘new_off’ may be used uninitialized [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] 903 | if (new_off > cur_off && new_off <= next_off) { | ~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~ btf_dump.c:870:13: note: ‘new_off’ was declared here 870 | int new_off, pad_bits, bits, i; | ^~~~~~~ btf_dump.c:917:25: error: ‘pad_type’ may be used uninitialized [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] 917 | btf_dump_printf(d, "\n%s%s: %d;", pfx(lvl), pad_type, | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 918 | in_bitfield ? new_off - cur_off : 0); | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ btf_dump.c:871:21: note: ‘pad_type’ was declared here 871 | const char *pad_type; | ^~~~~~~~ btf_dump.c:930:20: error: ‘pad_bits’ may be used uninitialized [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] 930 | if (bits == pad_bits) { | ^ btf_dump.c:870:22: note: ‘pad_bits’ was declared here 870 | int new_off, pad_bits, bits, i; | ^~~~~~~~ cc1: all warnings being treated as errors Signed-off-by: Eder Zulian Signed-off-by: Andrii Nakryiko Acked-by: Jiri Olsa Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20241022172329.3871958-3-ezulian@redhat.com
