• [$] Better debugging information for inlined kernel functions

    From LWN.net@86:200/23 to All on Thu May 1 19:11:08 2025


    Modern compilers perform a lot of optimizations, which can complicate debugging.
    Song Liu and Thierry Treyer spoke about a potential improvement to

    BPF Type Format (BTF) debugging information that could partially combat that problem at the 2025 Linux Storage, Filesystem,
    Memory-Management, and BPF Summit.
    They want to add information on selectively inlined functions to BTF in order to
    better support tracing tools.
    Treyer participated remotely.
