[PATCH v2 bpf 02/11] bpftool: define a local bpf_perf_link to fix accessing its fields

From: Alexander Lobakin
Date: Wed Apr 20 2022 - 20:39:14 EST


When building bpftool with !CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS:

skeleton/pid_iter.bpf.c:47:14: error: incomplete definition of type 'struct bpf_perf_link'
perf_link = container_of(link, struct bpf_perf_link, link);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
tools/bpf/bpftool/bootstrap/libbpf/include/bpf/bpf_helpers.h:74:22: note: expanded from macro 'container_of'
((type *)(__mptr - offsetof(type, member))); \
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
tools/bpf/bpftool/bootstrap/libbpf/include/bpf/bpf_helpers.h:68:60: note: expanded from macro 'offsetof'
#define offsetof(TYPE, MEMBER) ((unsigned long)&((TYPE *)0)->MEMBER)
~~~~~~~~~~~^
skeleton/pid_iter.bpf.c:44:9: note: forward declaration of 'struct bpf_perf_link'
struct bpf_perf_link *perf_link;
^

&bpf_perf_link is being defined and used only under the ifdef.
Define struct bpf_perf_link___local with the `preserve_access_index`
attribute inside the pid_iter BPF prog to allow compiling on any
configs. CO-RE will substitute it with the real struct bpf_perf_link
accesses later on.
container_of() is not CO-REd, but it is a noop for
bpf_perf_link <-> bpf_link and the local copy is a full mirror of
the original structure.
