build_id_parse is already doing the zero padding, so we are ok

I tried several bcc tools over perf bench with md5 buildid and
the results looked ok

Thanks. We may have issues on bcc side. For build_id collected in
kernel, bcc always generates a length-20 string. But for user
binaries, the build_id string length is equal to actual size of
the build_id. They may not match (MD5 length is 16).

Indeed.
Jiri, please check whether md5 is really an issue.
Sounds like we have to do something on the kernel side.
Hopefully zero padding will be enough.
I would prefer to avoid extending uapi struct to cover rare case.

I've applied the series, since this issue sounds orthogonal.

[PATCH bpf-next 2/3] bpf: Add size arg to build_id_parse function

2021-01-14 Thread Jiri Olsa
It's possible to have other build id types (other than default SHA1).
Currently there's also ld support for MD5 build id.

Adding size argument to build_id_parse function, that returns (if defined)
size of the parsed build id, so we can recognize the build id type.
