bpf,btf: enable BTF pruning by default for BPF
This patch enables -gprune-btf by default in the BPF backend when generating BTF information, and fixes BPF CO-RE generation when using -gprune-btf. When generating BPF CO-RE information, we must ensure that types used in CO-RE relocations always have sufficient BTF information emited so that the CO-RE relocations can be processed by a BPF loader. The BTF pruning algorithm on its own does not have sufficient information to determine which types are used in a BPF CO-RE relocation, so this information must be supplied by the BPF backend, using a new btf_mark_type_used function. Co-authored-by: Cupertino Miranda <cupertino.miranda@oracle.com> gcc/ * btfout.cc (btf_mark_type_used): New. * ctfc.h (btf_mark_type_used): Declare it here. * config/bpf/bpf.cc (bpf_option_override): Enable -gprune-btf by default if -gbtf is enabled. * config/bpf/core-builtins.cc (extra_fn): New typedef. (compute_field_expr): Add callback parameter, and call it if supplied. Fix computation for MEM_REF. (mark_component_type_as_used): New. (bpf_mark_types_as_used): Likewise. (bpf_expand_core_builtin): Call here. * doc/invoke.texi (Debugging Options): Note that -gprune-btf is enabled by default for BPF target when generating BTF. gcc/testsuite/ * gcc.dg/debug/btf/btf-variables-5.c: Adjust one test for bpf-*-* target.
