![]() In BTF, pointee type pruning is used to reduce cluttering too many unused types into prog BTF. For example, struct task_struct { ... struct mm_struct *mm; ... } If bpf program does not access members of "struct mm_struct", there is no need to bring types for "struct mm_struct" to BTF. This patch fixed a bug where an incorrect pruning happened. The test case like below: struct t; typedef struct t _t; struct s1 { _t *c; }; int test1(struct s1 *arg) { ... } struct t { int a; int b; }; struct s2 { _t c; } int test2(struct s2 *arg) { ... } After processing test1(), among others, BPF backend generates BTF types for "struct s1", "_t" and a placeholder for "struct t". Note that "struct t" is not really generated. If later a direct access to "struct t" member happened, "struct t" BTF type will be generated properly. During processing test2(), when processing member type "_t c", BPF backend sees type "_t" already generated, so returned. This caused the problem that "struct t" BTF type is never generated and eventually causing incorrect type definition for "struct s2". To fix the issue, during DebugInfo type traversal, even if a typedef/const/volatile/restrict derived type has been recorded in BTF, if it is not a type pruning candidate, type traversal of its base type continues.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
This directory and its sub-directories contain source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The README briefly describes how to get started with building LLVM. For more information on how to contribute to the LLVM project, please take a look at the Contributing to LLVM guide.
Getting Started with the LLVM System
Taken from https://llvm.org/docs/GettingStarted.html.
Overview
Welcome to the LLVM project!
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called "LLVM". This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and converts it into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer. It also contains basic regression tests.
C-like languages use the Clang front end. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM
The LLVM Getting Started documentation may be out of date. The Clang Getting Started page might have more accurate information.
This is an example work-flow and configuration to get and build the LLVM source:
-
Checkout LLVM (including related sub-projects like Clang):
-
git clone https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git
-
Or, on windows,
git clone --config core.autocrlf=false https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git
-
-
Configure and build LLVM and Clang:
-
cd llvm-project
-
mkdir build
-
cd build
-
cmake -G <generator> [options] ../llvm
Some common build system generators are:
Ninja
--- for generating Ninja build files. Most llvm developers use Ninja.Unix Makefiles
--- for generating make-compatible parallel makefiles.Visual Studio
--- for generating Visual Studio projects and solutions.Xcode
--- for generating Xcode projects.
Some Common options:
-
-DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS='...'
--- semicolon-separated list of the LLVM sub-projects you'd like to additionally build. Can include any of: clang, clang-tools-extra, libcxx, libcxxabi, libunwind, lldb, compiler-rt, lld, polly, or debuginfo-tests.For example, to build LLVM, Clang, libcxx, and libcxxabi, use
-DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS="clang;libcxx;libcxxabi"
. -
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=directory
--- Specify for directory the full path name of where you want the LLVM tools and libraries to be installed (default/usr/local
). -
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=type
--- Valid options for type are Debug, Release, RelWithDebInfo, and MinSizeRel. Default is Debug. -
-DLLVM_ENABLE_ASSERTIONS=On
--- Compile with assertion checks enabled (default is Yes for Debug builds, No for all other build types).
-
cmake --build . [-- [options] <target>]
or your build system specified above directly.-
The default target (i.e.
ninja
ormake
) will build all of LLVM. -
The
check-all
target (i.e.ninja check-all
) will run the regression tests to ensure everything is in working order. -
CMake will generate targets for each tool and library, and most LLVM sub-projects generate their own
check-<project>
target. -
Running a serial build will be slow. To improve speed, try running a parallel build. That's done by default in Ninja; for
make
, use the option-j NNN
, whereNNN
is the number of parallel jobs, e.g. the number of CPUs you have.
