From 47ea7417b0744324424405fc1207e266053237a9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: James Hilliard Date: Sun, 31 Jul 2022 17:26:49 -0600 Subject: libbpf: Skip empty sections in bpf_object__init_global_data_maps The GNU assembler generates an empty .bss section. This is a well established behavior in GAS that happens in all supported targets. The LLVM assembler doesn't generate an empty .bss section. bpftool chokes on the empty .bss section. Additionally in bpf_object__elf_collect the sec_desc->data is not initialized when a section is not recognized. In this case, this happens with .comment. So we must check that sec_desc->data is initialized before checking if the size is 0.
