libbpf: Fix -Wdiscarded-qualifiers under C23

2025-12-10T07:23:21+00:00

glibc ≥ 2.42 (GCC 15) defaults to -std=gnu23, which promotes -Wdiscarded-qualifiers to an error. In C23, strstr() and strchr() return "const char *". Change variable types to const char * where the pointers are never modified (res, sym_sfx, next_path).

libbpf: support llvm-generated indirect jumps

2025-11-06T01:53:23+00:00

For v4 instruction set LLVM is allowed to generate indirect jumps for switch statements and for 'goto *rX' assembly. Every such a jump will be accompanied by necessary metadata, e.g. (`llvm-objdump -Sr ...`): 0: r2 = 0x0 ll 0000000000000030: R_BPF_64_64 BPF.JT.0.0 Here BPF.JT.1.0 is a symbol residing in the .jumptables section: Symbol table: 4: 0000000000000000 240 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 4 BPF.JT.0.0 The -bpf-min-jump-table-entries llvm option may be used to control the minimal size of a switch which will be converted to an indirect jumps.

libbpf: Update the comment to remove the reference to the deprecated interface bpf_program__load().

2025-11-04T18:22:40+00:00

Commit be2f2d1680df ("libbpf: Deprecate bpf_program__load() API") marked bpf_program__load() as deprecated starting with libbpf v0.6. And later in commit 146bf811f5ac ("libbpf: remove most other deprecated high-level APIs") actually removed the bpf_program__load() implementation and related old high-level APIs. This patch update the comment in bpf_program__set_attach_target() to remove the reference to the deprecated interface bpf_program__load().

libbpf: Optimize the redundant code in the bpf_object__init_user_btf_maps() function.

2025-10-28T17:26:00+00:00

In the elf_sec_data() function, the input parameter 'scn' will be evaluated. If it is NULL, then it will directly return NULL. Therefore, the return value of the elf_sec_data() function already takes into account the case where the input parameter scn is NULL. Therefore, subsequently, the code only needs to check whether the return value of the elf_sec_data() function is NULL.

The commit 6c918709bd30 ("libbpf: Refactor bpf_object__reloc_code") added the bpf_object__append_subprog_code() with incorrect indentations. Use tabs instead.
