Hello,

I see this build error in linux-next (config attached).

Looks like you have DYNAMIC_FTRACE config option enabled already.
Could you try a later version of pahole?

Is this requireent new?

I have pahole 1.20, and master does build without problems.

If newer version is needed can a check be added?

With dwarves 1.21 some architectures are fixed and some report other
missing symbol. Definitely an improvenent.

I see some new type support was added so it makes sense if that type is
used the new dwarves are needed.

Ok, here is the current failure with dwarves 1.21 on 5.12:

[ 2548s] LD vmlinux
[ 2557s] BTFIDS vmlinux
[ 2557s] FAILED unresolved symbol vfs_truncate
[ 2558s] make[1]: ***

This is PPC64, from attached config:
CONFIG_PPC64=y
I don't have environment to cross-compile for PPC64.
Jiri, could you take a look? Thanks!


Any idea where this one is coming from?
Attaching a complete config

Thanks
