This patch adds support for the proposed type match relation to relo_core where it is shared between userspace and kernel. It plumbs through both kernel-side and libbpf-side support. The matching relation is defined as follows (copy from source): - modifiers and typedefs are stripped (and, hence, effectively ignored) - generally speaking types need to be of same kind (struct vs. struct, union vs. union, etc.) - exceptions are struct/union behind a pointer which could also match a forward declaration of a struct or union, respectively, and enum vs. enum64 (see below) Then, depending on type: - integers: - match if size and signedness match - arrays & pointers: - target types are recursively matched - structs & unions: - local members need to exist in target with the same name - for each member we recursively check match unless it is already behind a pointer, in which case we only check matching names and compatible kind - enums: - local variants have to have a match in target by symbolic name (but not numeric value) - size has to match (but enum may match enum64 and vice versa) - function pointers: - number and position of arguments in local type has to match target - for each argument and the return value we recursively check match Signed-off-by: Daniel Müller <deso@posteo.net> Signed-off-by: Andrii Nakryiko <andrii@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20220628160127.607834-5-deso@posteo.net
