Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2 1/2] libbpf: Fix sign extension of unaligned enums in btf_dump_get_enum_value()
Date: Sun, 15 Nov 2026 08:49:22 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261115084923.53182-2-dennylin0707@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261115084923.53182-1-dennylin0707@gmail.com>
btf_dump_get_enum_value() reads unaligned enum values through
btf_dump_get_bitfield_value() with a zero bit size. That makes
right_shift_bits 64 in
*value = (num << left_shift_bits) >> right_shift_bits;
which is undefined behavior for a __u64 on both endians. The path also
bypasses the signed loads used for aligned data, so a negative value of
a signed enum can lose its enumerator name when the data is unaligned.
Fix this by copying unaligned enum data into an aligned buffer, as
btf_dump_int_data() does, and reading it with the same loads as aligned
data.
Fixes: 920d16af9b42 ("libbpf: BTF dumper support for typed data")
