With CONFIG_GENDWARFKSYMS, __gendwarfksyms_ptr variables are
added to the kernel in EXPORT_SYMBOL() to ensure DWARF type
information is available for exported symbols in the TUs where
they're actually exported. These symbols are dropped when linking
vmlinux, but dangling references to them remain in DWARF.
With CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF enabled on X86, pahole versions after
commit 47dcb534e253 ("btf_encoder: Stop indexing symbols for
VARs") and before commit 9810758003ce ("btf_encoder: Verify 0
address DWARF variables are in ELF section") place these symbols
in the .data..percpu section, which results in an "Invalid
offset" error in btf_datasec_check_meta() during boot, as all
the variables are at zero offset and have non-zero size. If
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF_MODULES is enabled, this also results in a
failure to load modules with:
failed to validate module [$module] BTF: -22
As the issue occurs in pahole v1.28 and the fix was merged
after v1.29 was released, require pahole <v1.28 or >v1.29 when
GENDWARFKSYMS is enabled with DEBUG_INFO_BTF on X86.
