tools: bpftool: Restore message on failure to guess program type
In commit 4a3d6c6a6e4d ("libbpf: Reduce log level for custom section names"), log level for messages for libbpf_attach_type_by_name() and libbpf_prog_type_by_name() was downgraded from "info" to "debug". The latter function, in particular, is used by bpftool when attempting to load programs, and this change caused bpftool to exit with no hint or error message when it fails to detect the type of the program to load (unless "-d" option was provided). To help users understand why bpftool fails to load the program, let's do a second run of the function with log level in "debug" mode in case of failure. Before: # bpftool prog load sample_ret0.o /sys/fs/bpf/sample_ret0 # echo $? 255 Or really verbose with -d flag: # bpftool -d prog load sample_ret0.o /sys/fs/bpf/sample_ret0 libbpf: loading sample_ret0.o libbpf: section(1) .strtab, size 134, link 0, flags 0, type=3 libbpf: skip section(1) .strtab libbpf: section(2) .text, size 16, link 0, flags 6, type=1 libbpf: found program .text libbpf: section(3) .debug_abbrev, size 55, link 0, flags 0, type=1 libbpf: skip section(3) .debug_abbrev libbpf: section(4) .debug_info, size 75, link 0, flags 0, type=1 libbpf: skip section(4) .debug_info libbpf: section(5) .rel.debug_info, size 32, link 14, flags 0, type=9 libbpf: skip relo .rel.debug_info(5) for section(4) libbpf: section(6) .debug_str, size 150, link 0, flags 30, type=1 libbpf: skip section(6) .debug_str libbpf: section(7) .BTF, size 155, link 0, flags 0, type=1 libbpf: section(8) .BTF.ext, size 80, link 0, flags 0, type=1 libbpf: section(9) .rel.BTF.ext, size 32, link 14, flags 0, type=9 libbpf: skip relo .rel.BTF.ext(9) for section(8) libbpf: section(10) .debug_frame, size 40, link 0, flags 0, type=1 libbpf: skip section(10) .debug_frame libbpf: section(11) .rel.debug_frame, size 16, link 14, flags 0, type=9 libbpf: skip relo .rel.debug_frame(11) for section(10) libbpf: section(12) .debug_line, size 74, link 0, flags 0, type=1 libbpf: skip section(12) .debug_line libbpf: section(13) .rel.debug_line, size 16, link 14, flags 0, type=9 libbpf: skip relo .rel.debug_line(13) for section(12) libbpf: section(14) .symtab, size 96, link 1, flags 0, type=2 libbpf: looking for externs among 4 symbols... libbpf: collected 0 externs total libbpf: failed to guess program type from ELF section '.text' libbpf: supported section(type) names are: socket sk_reuseport kprobe/ [...] After: # bpftool prog load sample_ret0.o /sys/fs/bpf/sample_ret0 libbpf: failed to guess program type from ELF section '.text' libbpf: supported section(type) names are: socket sk_reuseport kprobe/ [...] Signed-off-by: Quentin Monnet <quentin@isovalent.com> Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Acked-by: John Fastabend <john.fastabend@gmail.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20200311021205.9755-1-quentin@isovalent.com Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>
