But I noticed that 'btfdiff' is showing differences from output

is:

The BTF output (the one starting with '+' in the diff output) is better, just

$ make -j24 CROSS_COMPILE=s390x-linux-gnu- ARCH=s390 O=../build/s390x-v5.9.0+/

Ah, that's awesome! Thanks for fixing this, Andrii. I haven't got time
to take a look at your patches last week, I will try to look at it

What's readelf's output for that symbol? If it's legal for SST_OBJECT
to have size zero, then we should just skip those in pahole. But it
shouldn't crash in either case, of course. But as Arnaldo mentioned,
that code changed significantly recently, so please check with latest
pahole from tmp.libbtf_encoder branch.

I've already fixed the message as part of
2e719cca6672 ("btf_encoder: revamp how per-CPU variables are encoded")
It's currently still in the tmp.libbtf_encoder branch in pahole repo.

Re: Segfault in pahole 1.18 when building kernel 5.9.1 for arm64
Thanks for reporting this and cc'ing me. I forgot to update the error
messages when renaming the flags. I will send a patch to fix the error
message.
The commit
commit f3d9054ba8ff1df0fc44e507e3a01c0964cabd42
Author: Hao Luo
AuthorDate: Wed Jul 8 13:44:10 2020 -0700
btf_encoder: Teach pahole to store percpu variables in vmlinux BTF.
encodes kernel global variables into BTF so that bpf programs can
directly access them. If there is no need to access kernel global
variables, it's perfectly fine to use '--btf_encode_force' to skip
encoding bad symbols into BTF, or '--skip_encoding_btf_vars' to skip
encoding all global vars all together. I will add these info into the
updated error message.
Also cc bpf folks for attention of this bug.

Would it be possible to try with
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/devel/pahole/pahole.git/commit/?h=tmp.libbtf_encoder
?
This switches to using libbpf for the BTF encoder and may have fixed
this problem.

Re: Segfault in pahole 1.18 when building kernel 5.9.1 for arm64
Hi,

I'm trying to build kernel 5.9.1 for arm64, and my dotconfig has
`CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y`, which requires pahole for building. However, pahole

PAHOLE: Error: Found symbol of zero size when encoding btf (sym:
'__kvm_nvhe_arm64_ssbd_callback_required', cu:

The symbol is an alias coming from arch/arm64/kernel/vmlinux.lds:

It is possible to force the build to continue if
LLVM_OBJCOPY=${OBJCOPY} ${PAHOLE} -J ${1}
in scripts/link-vmlinux.sh is changed to
LLVM_OBJCOPY=${OBJCOPY} ${PAHOLE} -J --btf_encode_force ${1}
The suggested `-j` or `--force` flags don't exist, since they were removed in
[1]. I believe `--btf_encode_force` should be suggested instead.
Agreed, '--btf_encode_force' makes pahole to proceed without crashes.
It should be noted that the same build, but with pahole version 1.17, works
without issue, so I think this is either a regression in pahole or the script
will need to be changed for newer versions of pahole.
Yeah, I observe the very same. I reported it at:

Segfault in pahole 1.18 when building kernel 5.9.1 for arm64
Hi!
I'm trying to build kernel 5.9.1 for arm64, and my dotconfig has
`CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y`, which requires pahole for building. However, pahole
version 1.18 segfaults during the build, as can be seen below:
PAHOLE: Error: Found symbol of zero size when encoding btf (sym:
'__kvm_nvhe_arm64_ssbd_callback_required', cu:
'arch/arm64/kernel/cpu_errata.c').
PAHOLE: Error: Use '-j' or '--force' to ignore such symbols and force
emit the btf.
scripts/link-vmlinux.sh: line 141: 43837 Segmentation fault

It is possible to force the build to continue if
LLVM_OBJCOPY=${OBJCOPY} ${PAHOLE} -J ${1}
in scripts/link-vmlinux.sh is changed to
LLVM_OBJCOPY=${OBJCOPY} ${PAHOLE} -J --btf_encode_force ${1}
The suggested `-j` or `--force` flags don't exist, since they were removed in
[1]. I believe `--btf_encode_force` should be suggested instead.
It should be noted that the same build, but with pahole version 1.17, works
without issue, so I think this is either a regression in pahole or the script
will need to be changed for newer versions of pahole.
