This will require a more time-consuming debugging, though, so I'll put it on my TODO list for now. If you get to this earlier, see where the equivalence check fails in btf_dedup (sprinkle debug outputs around to see what's going on). > thanks, > jirka > > > > > > > > jirka > > > > > > > > > > > > I found code in dedup that seems to handle such situation for arrays, > > > > > and added 'some' fix for structs.

If you get to this earlier, see where the > equivalence check fails in btf_dedup (sprinkle debug outputs around to > see what's going on). it failed for me on that hypot_type_id check where I did fix, I thought it's the issue of multiple same struct in the kmod, but now I see I might have confused cannon_id with cand_id ;-) I'll check more on this jirka

If you get to this earlier, see where the > equivalence check fails in btf_dedup (sprinkle debug outputs around to > see what's going on). > Hello Andrii, I think I'm seeing something similar when working on the conntrack patches [0], I was looking to match whether the type in a PTR_TO_BTF_ID register is same as struct nf_conn, but it seems that there can be two BTF IDs for the same struct type. When doing bpftool dump, I see: ; bpftool btf dump file /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux format raw | grep nf_conn ... [89224] STRUCT 'nf_conn' size=256 vlen=15 ... ; bpftool btf dump file /sys/kernel/btf/nf_conntrack format raw | grep nf_conn ... [103077] STRUCT 'nf_conn' size=256 vlen=15 [104988] STRUCT 'nf_conn' size=256 vlen=15 [106490] STRUCT 'nf_conn' size=256 vlen=15 [108187] STRUCT 'nf_conn' size=256 vlen=15 ... Inside the kernel, when trying to match both, register PTR_TO_BTF_ID refers to the nf_conntrack BTF ID, while the BTF_ID_LIST resolves to the one in vmlinux, this ends up making the job of matching the two struct types a bit difficult (for now, I am thinking of going with btf_struct_ids_match). My original plan was to compare the result of btf_types_by_id.

It makes everything clear. Basically, BTF dedup algo does too good job deduping vmlinux BTF. :) What's not clear is what to do about that, because a (current) fundamental assumption of is_equiv() check is that any type within CU (or in this case deduped vmlinux BTF) has exactly one unique mapping. Clearly that's not the case now. That array fix you mentioned worked around GCC bug where this assumption broke. In this case it's not a bug of a compiler (neither of algo, really), we just need to make algo smarter. Let me think about this a bit, we'll need to make the equivalence check be aware that there could be multiple equivalent mappings and be ok with that as long as all candidates are equivalent between themselves. Lots of equivalence and recursion to think about. It would be great to have a simplified test case to play with that. Do you mind distilling the chain of types above into a selftests and posting it to the mailing list so that I can play with it? It shouldn't be hard to write given BTF writing APIs. And we'll need a selftests anyway once we improve the algo, so it's definitely not a wasted work. And thanks again for analysis and writing this down, it would take me ages to get to this otherwise. P.S. If the improved BTF dedup algo will be able to handle this, we should also remove the array workaround, because that one should work automatically. I don't know if we have a test for duplicate array scenario, but it's probably good to have that as well. > > thanks, > jirka >

Hi Jiri and Andrii, we also have discovered this problem recently on Fedora 35 and linux-next. Is there any status update here ? @Jiri Is the increase of total kernel modules size by 20MB really a big deal on s390x ? We would like to have it enabled on our architecture again ;-) And 20MB seems okay or am i missing something maybe ? Another question i have wrt to BTF is why is it necessary to have e.g. _struct module_ be present within kernel module BTF if it is already present within vmlinux's one ? Can't the one from vmlinux be reused for kernel modules as well, they should be identical, right ? Thanks Regards Alex

Andrii made the fix: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20211117194114.347675-1-andrii@kernel.org/ IIRC there's still some issues, but they dont have too big impact on the size, it's discussed in that link > > @Jiri > Is the increase of total kernel modules size by 20MB really a big deal > on s390x ?

hi, I'm trying to enable BTF for kernel module in fedora, and I'm getting big increase on modules sizes on s390x arch. Size of modules in total - kernel dir under /lib/modules/VER/ from kernel-core and kernel-module packages: current new aarch64 60M 76M ppc64le 53M 66M s390x 21M 41M x86_64 64M 79M The reason for higher increase on s390x was that dedup algorithm did not detect some of the big kernel structs like 'struct module', so they are duplicated in the kernel module BTF data. The s390x has many small modules that increased significantly in size because of that even after compression. First issues was that the '--btf_gen_floats' option is not passed to pahole for kernel module BTF generation. The other problem is more tricky and is the reason why this patchset is RFC ;-) The s390x compiler generates multiple definitions of the same struct and dedup algorithm does not seem to handle this at the moment. I put the debuginfo and btf dump of the s390x pnet.ko module in here: http://people.redhat.com/~jolsa/kmodbtf/ Please let me know if you'd like to see other info/files. I found code in dedup that seems to handle such situation for arrays, and added 'some' fix for structs. With that change I can no longer see vmlinux's structs in kernel module BTF data, but I have no idea if that breaks anything else. thoughts? thanks, jirka --- Jiri Olsa (2): kbuild: Unify options for BTF generation for vmlinux and modules bpf: Add support to detect and dedup instances of same structs Makefile | 3 +++ scripts/Makefile.modfinal | 2 +- scripts/link-vmlinux.sh | 11 +---------- scripts/pahole-flags.sh | 20 ++++++++++++++++++++ tools/lib/bpf/btf.c | 12 ++++++++++-- 5 files changed, 35 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) create mode 100755 scripts/pahole-flags.sh
