tools: bpftool: fix a bitfield pretty print issue
Commit b12d6ec09730 ("bpf: btf: add btf print functionality")
added btf pretty print functionality to bpftool.
There is a problem though in printing a bitfield whose type
has modifiers.
For example, for a type like
typedef int ___int;
struct tmp_t {
int a:3;
___int b:3;
};
Suppose we have a map
struct bpf_map_def SEC("maps") tmpmap = {
.type = BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH,
.key_size = sizeof(__u32),
.value_size = sizeof(struct tmp_t),
.max_entries = 1,
};
and the hash table is populated with one element with
key 0 and value (.a = 1 and .b = 2).
In BTF, the struct member "b" will have a type "typedef" which
points to an int type. The current implementation does not
pass the bit offset during transition from typedef to int type,
hence incorrectly print the value as
$ bpftool m d id 79
[{
"key": 0,
"value": {
"a": 0x1,
"b": 0x1
}
}
]
This patch fixed the issue by carrying bit_offset along the type
chain during bit_field print. The correct result can be printed as
$ bpftool m d id 76
[{
"key": 0,
"value": {
"a": 0x1,
"b": 0x2
}
}
]
The kernel pretty print is implemented correctly and does not
have this issue.
