Commit Message

Cupertino Miranda Feb. 20, 2024, 10:24 a.m. UTC
Dissociated .BTF.ext from the CO-RE relocations creation. Improvement of
allocation/deallocation of BTF structures. Moving deallocation to final
when needed.

gcc/ChangeLog:

	* config/bpf/bpf.cc (bpf_option_override): Make BTF.ext	enabled
	by default for BPF.
	(btf_asm_init_sections): Add btf deallocation.
	* dwarf2ctf.cc (ctf_debug_finalize): Fixed btf deallocation.

I find the commit message and ChangeLog here overly brief and a little
bit confusing.

You refer to moving the BTF deallocation to 'final', but IMO in this
context 'final' has the particular meaning of referring to pass_final,
which is not where the deallocation is moved. Rather, the patch moves it
to bpf_file_end, which implements the TARGET_ASM_FILE_END hook and is
called after pass_final. So I suggest to avoid calling it 'final', and
to explain a little in the commit message under what circumstances the
deallocation must be moved.

Also, I think the ChangeLog is missing an entry for bpf_file_end.

Please find a little note on a typo inline below.
