bpftool: Fix -Wuninitialized-const-pointer warnings with clang >= 21

bpftool: Add support for dumping streams

2025-07-04T02:30:07+00:00

Add support for printing the BPF stream contents of a program in bpftool. The new bpftool prog tracelog command is extended to take stdout and stderr arguments, and then the prog specification. The bpf_prog_stream_read() API added in previous patch is simply reused to grab data and then it is dumped to the respective file. The stdout data is sent to stdout, and stderr is printed to stderr.

bpftool: Fix memory leak in dump_xx_nlmsg on realloc failure

2025-06-20T18:32:36+00:00

In function dump_xx_nlmsg(), when realloc() fails to allocate memory, the original pointer to the buffer is overwritten with NULL. This causes a memory leak because the previously allocated buffer becomes unreachable without being freed.

bpftool: Use appropriate permissions for map access

2025-06-20T18:13:03+00:00

Modify several functions in tools/bpf/bpftool/common.c to allow specification of requested access for file descriptors, such as read-only access. Update bpftool to request only read access for maps when write access is not required. This fixes errors when reading from maps that are protected from modification via security_bpf_map.

bpftool: Fix JSON writer resource leak in version command

2025-06-17T20:28:26+00:00

When using `bpftool --version -j/-p`, the JSON writer object created in do_version() was not properly destroyed after use. This caused a memory leak each time the version command was executed with JSON output.

tools/bpf_jit_disasm: Fix potential negative tpath index in get_exec_path()

2025-06-13T02:11:13+00:00

If readlink() fails, len will be -1, which can cause negative indexing and undefined behavior. This patch ensures that len is set to 0 on readlink failure, preventing such issues.

tools/resolve_btfids: Fix build when cross compiling kernel with clang.

2025-06-10T16:09:27+00:00

When cross compiling the kernel with clang, we need to override CLANG_CROSS_FLAGS when preparing the step libraries. Prior to commit d1d096312176 ("tools: fix annoying "mkdir -p ..." logs when building tools in parallel"), MAKEFLAGS would have been set to a value that wouldn't set a value for CLANG_CROSS_FLAGS, hiding the fact that we weren't properly overriding it.
