libbpf: Resolve unambigous forward declarations
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Resolve forward declarations that don't take part in type graphs
comparisons if declaration name is unambiguous. Example:

CU #1:

struct foo;              // standalone forward declaration
struct foo *some_global;

CU #2:

struct foo { int x; };
struct foo *another_global;

The `struct foo` from CU #1 is not a part of any definition that is
compared against another definition while `btf_dedup_struct_types`
processes structural types. The the BTF after `btf_dedup_struct_types`
the BTF looks as follows:

[1] STRUCT 'foo' size=4 vlen=1 ...
[2] INT 'int' size=4 ...
[3] PTR '(anon)' type_id=1
[4] FWD 'foo' fwd_kind=struct
[5] PTR '(anon)' type_id=4

This commit adds a new pass `btf_dedup_resolve_fwds`, that maps such
forward declarations to structs or unions with identical name in case
if the name is not ambiguous.

The pass is positioned before `btf_dedup_ref_types` so that types
[3] and [5] could be merged as a same type after [1] and [4] are merged.
The final result for the example above looks as follows:

[1] STRUCT 'foo' size=4 vlen=1
	'x' type_id=2 bits_offset=0
[2] INT 'int' size=4 bits_offset=0 nr_bits=32 encoding=SIGNED
[3] PTR '(anon)' type_id=1

For defconfig kernel with BTF enabled this removes 63 forward
declarations. Examples of removed declarations: `pt_regs`, `in6_addr`.
The running time of `btf__dedup` function is increased by about 3%.
