bpftool: Fix truncated netlink dumps

2026-02-26T22:59:39+00:00

[ Upstream commit 3b39d73cc3379360a33eb583b17f21fe55e1288e ] Netlink requires that the recv buffer used during dumps is at least min(PAGE_SIZE, 8k) (see the man page). Otherwise the messages will get truncated. Make sure bpftool follows this requirement, avoid missing information on systems with large pages.

libbpf: Fix invalid write loop logic in bpf_linker__add_buf()

2026-02-26T22:59:38+00:00

[ Upstream commit 04999b99e81eaa7b6223ec1c03af3bcb4ac57aaa ] Fix bpf_linker__add_buf()'s logic of copying data from memory buffer into memfd. In the event of short write not writing entire buf_sz bytes into memfd file, we'll append bytes from the beginning of buf *again* (corrupting ELF file contents) instead of correctly appending the rest of not-yet-read buf contents.

libbpf: Fix OOB read in btf_dump_get_bitfield_value

2026-02-26T22:59:02+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 -Wdiscarded-qualifiers under C23

2026-02-06T15:57:45+00:00

commit d70f79fef65810faf64dbae1f3a1b5623cdb2345 upstream. 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: Fix parsing of multi-split BTF

2025-12-18T13:02:50+00:00

[ Upstream commit 4f596acc260e691a2e348f64230392f3472feea3 ] When creating multi-split BTF we correctly set the start string offset to be the size of the base string section plus the base BTF start string offset; the latter is needed for multi-split BTF since the offset is non-zero there. Unfortunately the BTF parsing case needed that logic and it was missed.

bpf: add _impl suffix for bpf_stream_vprintk() kfunc

2025-11-05T01:50:25+00:00

Rename bpf_stream_vprintk() to bpf_stream_vprintk_impl(). This makes bpf_stream_vprintk() follow the already established "_impl" suffix-based naming convention for kfuncs with the bpf_prog_aux argument provided by the verifier implicitly. This convention will be taken advantage of with the upcoming KF_IMPLICIT_ARGS feature to preserve backwards compatibility to BPF programs.

libbpf: Fix powerpc's stack register definition in bpf_tracing.h

2025-10-23T18:25:16+00:00

retsnoop's build on powerpc (ppc64le) architecture ([0]) failed due to wrong definition of PT_REGS_SP() macro. Looking at powerpc's implementation of stack unwinding in perf_callchain_user_64() clearly shows that stack pointer register is gpr[1]. Fix libbpf's definition of __PT_SP_REG for powerpc to fix all this.
