From 760ebc45746b498a36332acefd9e2838a3f8fcf0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Olsa Date: Wed, 10 May 2023 15:51:31 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] perf lock contention: Add empty 'struct rq' to satisfy libbpf 'runqueue' type verification If 'struct rq' isn't defined in lock_contention.bpf.c then the type for the 'runqueue' variable ends up being a forward declaration (BTF_KIND_FWD) while the kernel has it defined (BTF_KIND_STRUCT). This makes libbpf decide it has incompatible types and then fails to load the BPF skeleton: # perf lock con -ab sleep 1 libbpf: extern (var ksym) 'runqueues': incompatible types, expected [95] fwd rq, but kernel has [55509] struct rq libbpf: failed to load object 'lock_contention_bpf' libbpf: failed to load BPF skeleton 'lock_contention_bpf': -22 Failed to load lock-contention BPF skeleton lock contention BPF setup failed # Add it as an empty struct to satisfy that type verification: # perf lock con -ab sleep 1 contended total wait max wait avg wait type caller 2 50.64 us 25.38 us 25.32 us spinlock tick_do_update_jiffies64+0x25 1 26.18 us 26.18 us 26.18 us spinlock tick_do_update_jiffies64+0x25 # Committer notes: Extracted from a larger patch as Namhyung had already fixed the other issues in e53de7b65a3ca59a ("perf lock contention: Fix struct rq lock access").
