From f7a6b9eaff3e6693ba3b19c5812e28538049bbf2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alan Maguire Date: Fri, 17 Apr 2026 15:30:18 +0100 Subject: bpf: Extend BTF UAPI vlen, kinds to use unused bits BTF maximum vlen is encoded using 16 bits with a maximum vlen of 65535. This has sufficed for structs, function parameters and enumerated type values. However, with upcoming BTF location information - in particular information about inline sites - this limit is surpassed. Use bits 16-23 - currently unused in BTF info - to extend to 24 bits, giving a max vlen of (2^24 - 1), or 16 million. Also extend BTF kind encoding from 5 to 7 bits, giving a maximum available number of kinds of 128. Since with the BTF location work we use another 3 kinds, we are fast approaching the current limit of 32. Convert BTF_MAX_* values to enums to allow them to be encoded in kernel BTF; this will allow us to detect if the running kernel supports a 24-bit vlen or not. Add one for max _possible_ (not used) kind. Fix up a few places in the kernel where a 16-bit vlen is assumed; remove BTF_INFO_MASK as now all bits are used. The vlen expansion was suggested by Andrii in [1]; the kind expansion is tackled here too as it may be needed also to support new kinds in BTF.
