[PATCH v2 bpf-next 0/3] libbpf: BTF typed dump cleanups

From: Alan Maguire
Date: Fri Jul 16 2021 - 18:48:22 EST


Fix issues with libbpf BTF typed dump code. Patch 1 addresses handling
of unaligned data. Patch 2 fixes issues Andrii noticed when compiling
on ppc64le. Patch 3 simplifies typed dump by getting rid of allocation
of dump data structure which tracks dump state etc.

Changes since v1:

- Andrii suggested using a function instead of a macro for checking
alignment of data, and pointed out that we need to consider dump
ptr size versus native pointer size (patch 1)

Alan Maguire (3):
libbpf: clarify/fix unaligned data issues for btf typed dump
libbpf: fix compilation errors on ppc64le for btf dump typed data
libbpf: btf typed dump does not need to allocate dump data
