The BTF dumper code currently displays arrays of characters as just that - arrays, with each character formatted individually. Sometimes this is what makes sense, but it's nice to be able to treat that array as a string. This change adds a special case to the btf_dump functionality to allow 0-terminated arrays of single-byte integer values to be printed as character strings. Characters for which isprint() returns false are printed as hex-escaped values. This is enabled when the new ".emit_strings" is set to 1 in the btf_dump_type_data_opts structure. As an example, here's what it looks like to dump the string "hello" using a few different field values for btf_dump_type_data_opts (.compact = 1): - .emit_strings = 0, .skip_names = 0: (char[6])['h','e','l','l','o',] - .emit_strings = 0, .skip_names = 1: ['h','e','l','l','o',] - .emit_strings = 1, .skip_names = 0: (char[6])"hello" - .emit_strings = 1, .skip_names = 1: "hello" Here's the string "h\xff", dumped with .compact = 1 and .skip_names = 1: - .emit_strings = 0: ['h',-1,] - .emit_strings = 1: "h\xff" Signed-off-by: Blake Jones <blakejones@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrii Nakryiko <andrii@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20250603203701.520541-1-blakejones@google.com |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
