bpftool: Always disable stack protection for BPF objects
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
[ Upstream commit 878625e ]

When the clang toolchain has stack protection enabled in order to be
consistent with gcc - which just happens to be the case on Gentoo -
the bpftool build fails:

  [...]
  clang \
	-I. \
	-I/tmp/portage/dev-util/bpftool-6.0.12/work/linux-6.0/tools/include/uapi/ \
	-I/tmp/portage/dev-util/bpftool-6.0.12/work/linux-6.0/tools/bpf/bpftool/bootstrap/libbpf/include \
	-g -O2 -Wall -target bpf -c skeleton/pid_iter.bpf.c -o pid_iter.bpf.o
  clang \
	-I. \

	-g -O2 -Wall -target bpf -c skeleton/profiler.bpf.c -o profiler.bpf.o
  skeleton/profiler.bpf.c:40:14: error: A call to built-in function '__stack_chk_fail' is not supported.
  int BPF_PROG(fentry_XXX)
                ^
  skeleton/profiler.bpf.c:94:14: error: A call to built-in function '__stack_chk_fail' is not supported.
  int BPF_PROG(fexit_XXX)
                ^

  [...]

Since stack-protector makes no sense for the BPF bits just unconditionally
disable it.
