* Wed Jan 15 2025 Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> - 1.29-1
- New release: 1.29
- Multithreading is now in the DWARF loader using a jobs queue and a pool of worker threads.
- The BTF encoding now is always reproducible, and as fast/faster than before.
- The memory consumption is reduced.
- Support for multiple BTF_DECL_TAGs pointing to same tag.
- Verify that pfunct prints btf_decl_tags read from BTF.
- Don't print functions twice when using 'pfunct -f function_name'.
* Fri Dec 06 2024 Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> - 1.28-1
- New release: 1.28
- Various improvements to reduce the memory footprint of pahole, notably when doing BTF encoding.
- Show flexible arrays statistics
- Add '--padding N' and '--padding_ge N' to show structs with paddings
- Introduce --running_kernel_vmlinux to find a vmlinux that matches the build-id of the running kernel.
- Don't stop pfunct output at the first function that matches a filter, show all of them
- Allow encoding data about all global variables, not just per CPU ones
- Handle .BTF_ids section endianness, fully supporting cross builds
- Generate decl tags for bpf_fastcall for eligible kfuncs
- Add "distilled_base" BTF feature to split BTF generation.
- Use the ELF_C_READ_MMAP mode with libelf, reducing peak memory utilization
- Allow overriding /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux via the PAHOLE_VMLINUX_BTF_FILENAME env var
- Allow setting the list of compile units via PAHOLE_LANG_EXCLUDE env var
- Serialize access to elfutils dwarf_getlocation().
- Honour --lang_exclude when merging LTO built CUs.
- Add the debuginfod client cache directory to the vmlinux search path.
- Print the CU's language when a tag isn't supported.
- Initial support for GNU_formal_parameter_pack, GNU_template_parameter_pack, template_value_param and template_type_param DWARF tags.
- Improve the parameter parsing by checking DW_OP_[GNU_]entry_value
- Introduce a tests/ directory with regression tests
* Tue Jun 11 2024 Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> - 1.27-1
- New release: v1.27
- Reproducible parallel builds: multiple runs with different number of loading/encoding threads produce the same result.
- Inject kfunc decl tags into BTF from the BTF IDs ELF section in the Linux kernel vmlinux file.
- Sanitize unsupported DWARF int type with greater-than-16 byte, as BTF doesn't support it.
- Initial support for BTF_KIND_DECL_TAG in the BTF loader, adding support in pfunct output.
- Fix hole discovery with inheritance in C++.
* Tue Feb 27 2024 Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> - 1.26-1
- New release: v1.26
- When expanding types using 'pahole -E' do it for union and struct typedefs and for enums too.
- Print number of holes, bit holes and bit paddings in class member types.
- Introduce --contains_enumerator=ENUMERATOR_NAME:
- Fix pretty printing using DWARF, waiting for a CU with both class (-C) and a specified "type_enum".
- Add support for DW_TAG_constant in the DWARF loader, first seen in Go DWARF.
- Fix loading DW_TAG_subroutine_type generated by the Go compiler.
- Fix loading of 32-bit signed enums from BTF.
- Add 'pahole --btf_features' to allow consumers to specify an opt-in set of features they want to use in BTF encoding.
- Parallelize loading BTF and DWARF, speeding up a bit btfdiff.
- Do type expansion to cover "private" types and enumerations in btfdiff.
