selftests/bpf: fix backtrace printing for selftests crashes
test_progs uses glibc specific functions backtrace() and backtrace_symbols_fd() to print backtrace in case of SIGSEGV. Recent commit (see fixes) updated test_progs.c to define stub versions of the same functions with attriubte "weak" in order to allow linking test_progs against musl libc. Unfortunately this broke the backtrace handling for glibc builds. As it turns out, glibc defines backtrace() and backtrace_symbols_fd() as weak: $ llvm-readelf --symbols /lib64/libc.so.6 \ | grep -P '( backtrace_symbols_fd| backtrace)$' 4910: 0000000000126b40 161 FUNC WEAK DEFAULT 16 backtrace 6843: 0000000000126f90 852 FUNC WEAK DEFAULT 16 backtrace_symbols_fd So does test_progs: $ llvm-readelf --symbols test_progs \ | grep -P '( backtrace_symbols_fd| backtrace)$' 2891: 00000000006ad190 15 FUNC WEAK DEFAULT 13 backtrace 11215: 00000000006ad1a0 41 FUNC WEAK DEFAULT 13 backtrace_symbols_fd In such situation dynamic linker is not obliged to favour glibc implementation over the one defined in test_progs. Compiling with the following simple modification to test_progs.c demonstrates the issue: $ git diff ... \--- a/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_progs.c \+++ b/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_progs.c \@@ -1817,6 +1817,7 @@ int main(int argc, char **argv) if (err) return err; + *(int *)0xdeadbeef = 42; err = cd_flavor_subdir(argv[0]); if (err) return err; $ ./test_progs [0]: Caught signal #11! Stack trace: <backtrace not supported> Segmentation fault (core dumped) Resolve this by hiding stub definitions behind __GLIBC__ macro check instead of using "weak" attribute.
