bpf: Support pre-2.25-binutils objcopy for vmlinux BTF
If vmlinux BTF generation fails, but CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF is set, .BTF section of vmlinux is empty and kernel will prohibit BPF loading and return "in-kernel BTF is malformed". --dump-section argument to binutils' objcopy was added in version 2.25. When using pre-2.25 binutils, BTF generation silently fails. Convert to --only-section which is present on pre-2.25 binutils. Documentation/process/changes.rst states that binutils 2.21+ is supported, not sure those standards apply to BPF subsystem. v2: * exit and print an error if gen_btf fails (John Fastabend) v3: * resend with Andrii's Acked-by/Tested-by tags Fixes: 341dfcf8d78ea ("btf: expose BTF info through sysfs") Signed-off-by: Stanislav Fomichev <sdf@google.com> Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Tested-by: Andrii Nakryiko <andriin@fb.com> Acked-by: Andrii Nakryiko <andriin@fb.com> Cc: John Fastabend <john.fastabend@gmail.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20191127161410.57327-1-sdf@google.com
