llvm patch https://reviews.llvm.org/D84002 permitted to emit empty rodata datasec if the elf .rodata section contains read-only data from local variables. These local variables will be not emitted as BTF_KIND_VARs since llvm converted these local variables as static variables with private linkage without debuginfo types. Such an empty rodata datasec will make skeleton code generation easy since for skeleton a rodata struct will be generated if there is a .rodata elf section. The existence of a rodata btf datasec is also consistent with the existence of a rodata map created by libbpf. The btf with such an empty rodata datasec will fail in the kernel though as kernel will reject a datasec with zero vlen and zero size. For example, for the below code, int sys_enter(void *ctx) { int fmt[6] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}; int dst[6]; bpf_probe_read(dst, sizeof(dst), fmt); return 0; } We got the below btf (bpftool btf dump ./test.o): [1] PTR '(anon)' type_id=0 [2] FUNC_PROTO '(anon)' ret_type_id=3 vlen=1 'ctx' type_id=1 [3] INT 'int' size=4 bits_offset=0 nr_bits=32 encoding=SIGNED [4] FUNC 'sys_enter' type_id=2 linkage=global [5] INT 'char' size=1 bits_offset=0 nr_bits=8 encoding=SIGNED [6] ARRAY '(anon)' type_id=5 index_type_id=7 nr_elems=4 [7] INT '__ARRAY_SIZE_TYPE__' size=4 bits_offset=0 nr_bits=32 encoding=(none) [8] VAR '_license' type_id=6, linkage=global-alloc [9] DATASEC '.rodata' size=0 vlen=0 [10] DATASEC 'license' size=0 vlen=1 type_id=8 offset=0 size=4 When loading the ./test.o to the kernel with bpftool, we see the following error: libbpf: Error loading BTF: Invalid argument(22) libbpf: magic: 0xeb9f ... [6] ARRAY (anon) type_id=5 index_type_id=7 nr_elems=4 [7] INT __ARRAY_SIZE_TYPE__ size=4 bits_offset=0 nr_bits=32 encoding=(none) [8] VAR _license type_id=6 linkage=1 [9] DATASEC .rodata size=24 vlen=0 vlen == 0 libbpf: Error loading .BTF into kernel: -22. BTF is optional, ignoring. Basically, libbpf changed .rodata datasec size to 24 since elf .rodata section size is 24. The kernel then rejected the BTF since vlen = 0. Note that the above kernel verifier failure can be worked around with changing local variable "fmt" to a static or global, optionally const, variable. This patch permits a datasec with vlen = 0 in kernel.

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.
