This was initially reported at https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/pahole/-/issues/1. See my upstream report for more information: https://lore.kernel.org/20240613214019.GA1423015@thelio-3990X/
A patch now exists for this: https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZnCWRMfRDMHqSxBb@x1/
Did you try LATEST pahole.git#next in this scenario?
commit 3801aa0c1174db56540a84947a568bd918730ea4
("dwarf_loader: Remove 'struct dwarf_tag' variable size")
The patch is accepted, so the next branch is fixed. It hasn’t been released though, so I am keeping the issue open until then.
What is your suggestion?
pahole version 1.27 plus above patch only?
Use v1.26?
Here pahole-v1.27-7-g693522ee3a94 is the last working version.
I would either stick with 1.26 or checkout and build at 94a01bde592c555b3eb526aeb4c2ad695c5660d8, which is effectively what Arch Linux did: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/pahole/-/commit/505221149a546ad608db56aa3465380a8bff0690.
OK, thanks.
This is pahole v1.27-3-g94a01bde592c:
commit 94a01bde592c
("dwarf_loader: Add missing cus__add(cus, cu) to cus__merge_and_process_cu()")
With a selfmade pahole version v1.27-3-g94a01bde592c:
