[PATCH v2] lttng-modules: fix build against 5.18-rc7+


Bruce Ashfield
 

From: Bruce Ashfield <bruce.ashfield@...>

lttng-modules fails to build against 5.18-rc7, the details of the fix
are as follows:

The commit [fix: sched/tracing: Don't re-read p->state when emitting
sched_switch event (v5.18)] was correct, but the kernel changed their
mind with the following commit:

commit 9c2136be0878c88c53dea26943ce40bb03ad8d8d
Author: Delyan Kratunov <delyank@...>

sched/tracing: Append prev_state to tp args instead

Commit fa2c3254d7cf (sched/tracing: Don't re-read p->state when emitting
sched_switch event, 2022-01-20) added a new prev_state argument to the
sched_switch tracepoint, before the prev task_struct pointer.

This reordering of arguments broke BPF programs that use the raw
tracepoint (e.g. tp_btf programs). The type of the second argument has
changed and existing programs that assume a task_struct* argument
(e.g. for bpf_task_storage access) will now fail to verify.

If we instead append the new argument to the end, all existing programs
would continue to work and can conditionally extract the prev_state
argument on supported kernel versions.

By reordering the parameters (again) we can get back up and building.

v2: upstream merged their fix for 5.18-rc7+, so I've updated with that
fix and spun v2.
