ebpf: bpf_map_*: fix linker error on avr32 and openrisc arch
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Fengguang reported, that on openrisc and avr32 architectures, we
get the following linker errors on *_defconfig builds that have
no bpf syscall support:

  net/built-in.o:(.rodata+0x1cd0): undefined reference to `bpf_map_lookup_elem_proto'
  net/built-in.o:(.rodata+0x1cd4): undefined reference to `bpf_map_update_elem_proto'
  net/built-in.o:(.rodata+0x1cd8): undefined reference to `bpf_map_delete_elem_proto'

Fix it up by providing built-in weak definitions of the symbols,
so they can be overridden when the syscall is enabled. I think
the issue might be that gcc is not able to optimize all that away.
This patch fixes the linker errors for me, tested with Fengguang's
make.cross [1] script.
