tools: bpftool: fix a bitfield pretty print issue
Commit b12d6ec0 ("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.
