Subject: [PATCH v14 02/14] tracing/probes: Fix BTF kflag check for anonymous struct member access
Date: Sun, 30 Aug 2026 23:27:13 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <178810003326.64882.5820404025124695636.stgit@devnote2> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <178810001186.64882.2161016469449127450.stgit@devnote2>
From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>
btf_find_struct_member() traverses into nested anonymous structures and
unions to find a struct member. However, get_bitoffset_of_field() in
trace_probe.c checked btf_type_kflag(type) using the outer parent type
instead of the actual anonymous structure/union that directly contains
the found member.
If the parent structure and anonymous structure have mismatched kflags
(e.g., the parent has kflag=0 while the anonymous structure has kflag=1
because it contains bitfields), the bitfield size encoded in the upper
8 bits of member->offset is erroneously treated as part of the byte/bit
offset, corrupting the resolved offset and failing to set last_bitsize.
Similarly, btf_find_struct_member() pushed anonymous member offsets
onto anon_stack without masking BTF_MEMBER_BIT_OFFSET() when kflag is set.
To fix this problem, update btf_find_struct_member() to return actual
containing structure/union type via member_type, and use it for
btf_type_kflag() in get_bitoffset_of_field().
Fixes: c440adfbe302 ("tracing/probes: Support BTF based data structure field access")
