looks like vfs_truncate did not get into BTF data,
I'll try to reproduce
_None_ of the functions are generated by pahole -J from
debuginfo on ppc64. debuginfo appears to be correct. Neither
pahole -J fs/open.o works correctly. collect_functions in
dwarves seems to be defunct on ppc64... "functions" array is
bogus (so find_function -- the bsearch -- fails).
It's not that bogus. I forgot an asterisk:

The dot makes the difference, of course. The question is why is it
there? I keep looking into it. Only if someone has an immediate
idea...
Well, .vfs_truncate is in .text (and contains an ._mcount call). And
vfs_truncate is in .opd (w/o an ._mcount call). Since setup_functions
excludes all functions without the ._mcount call, is_ftrace_func later
returns false for such functions and they are filtered before the BTF
processing.

Technically, get_vmlinux_addrs looks at a list of functions between
__start_mcount_loc and __stop_mcount_loc and considers only the listed.

I don't know what the correct fix is (exclude .opd functions from the
filter?). Neither why cross compiler doesn't fail, nor why ebi v2 avoids
this too.
Attaching a patch for pahole which fixes the issue, but I have no idea
whether it is the right fix at all.
hi,
we're considering to disable ftrace filter completely,
I guess that would solve this issue for ppc as well

Subject: ppc64: .opd section fix
Patch-mainline: submitted 2021/05/03

Functions in the .opd section should be considered valid too. Otherwise,
pahole cannot produce a .BTF section from vmlinux and kernel build
fails on ppc64.
