[ Upstream commit 4050764cba ]
Latest llvm-project upstream had a change of behavior
related to qualifiers on function return type ([1]).
This caused selftests btf_dump/btf_dump failure.
The following example shows what changed.
$ cat t.c
typedef const char * const (* const (* const fn_ptr_arr2_t[5])())(char * (*)(int));
struct t {
int a;
fn_ptr_arr2_t l;
};
int foo(struct t *arg) {
return arg->a;
}
Compiled with latest upstream llvm15,
$ clang -O2 -g -target bpf -S -emit-llvm t.c
The related generated debuginfo IR looks like:
!16 = !DIDerivedType(tag: DW_TAG_typedef, name: "fn_ptr_arr2_t", file: !1, line: 1, baseType: !17)
!17 = !DICompositeType(tag: DW_TAG_array_type, baseType: !18, size: 320, elements: !32)
!18 = !DIDerivedType(tag: DW_TAG_const_type, baseType: !19)
!19 = !DIDerivedType(tag: DW_TAG_pointer_type, baseType: !20, size: 64)
!20 = !DISubroutineType(types: !21)
!21 = !{!22, null}
!22 = !DIDerivedType(tag: DW_TAG_pointer_type, baseType: !23, size: 64)
!23 = !DISubroutineType(types: !24)
!24 = !{!25, !28}
!25 = !DIDerivedType(tag: DW_TAG_pointer_type, baseType: !26, size: 64)
!26 = !DIDerivedType(tag: DW_TAG_const_type, baseType: !27)
!27 = !DIBasicType(name: "char", size: 8, encoding: DW_ATE_signed_char)
You can see two intermediate const qualifier to pointer are dropped in debuginfo IR.
With llvm14, we have following debuginfo IR:
!16 = !DIDerivedType(tag: DW_TAG_typedef, name: "fn_ptr_arr2_t", file: !1, line: 1, baseType: !17)
!17 = !DICompositeType(tag: DW_TAG_array_type, baseType: !18, size: 320, elements: !34)
!18 = !DIDerivedType(tag: DW_TAG_const_type, baseType: !19)
!19 = !DIDerivedType(tag: DW_TAG_pointer_type, baseType: !20, size: 64)
!20 = !DISubroutineType(types: !21)
!21 = !{!22, null}
!22 = !DIDerivedType(tag: DW_TAG_const_type, baseType: !23)
!23 = !DIDerivedType(tag: DW_TAG_pointer_type, baseType: !24, size: 64)
!24 = !DISubroutineType(types: !25)
!25 = !{!26, !30}
!26 = !DIDerivedType(tag: DW_TAG_const_type, baseType: !27)
!27 = !DIDerivedType(tag: DW_TAG_pointer_type, baseType: !28, size: 64)
!28 = !DIDerivedType(tag: DW_TAG_const_type, baseType: !29)
!29 = !DIBasicType(name: "char", size: 8, encoding: DW_ATE_signed_char)
All const qualifiers are preserved.
To adapt the selftest to both old and new llvm, this patch removed
the intermediate const qualifier in const-to-ptr types, to make the
test succeed again.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
