Linux kernel source tree
fa6f092cc0
The `name` field in `obj->externs` points into the BTF data at initial
open time. However, some functions may invalidate this after opening and
before loading (e.g. `bpf_map__set_value_size`), which results in
pointers into freed memory and undefined behavior.
The simplest solution is to simply `strdup` these strings, similar to
the `essent_name`, and free them at the same time.
In order to test this path, the `global_map_resize` BPF selftest is
modified slightly to ensure the presence of an extern, which causes this
test to fail prior to the fix. Given there isn't an obvious API or error
to test against, I opted to add this to the existing test as an aspect
of the resizing feature rather than duplicate the test.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
