Yeah, we even have this in tools/perf/util/symbol-elf.c:
#ifndef HAVE_ELF_GETSHDRSTRNDX_SUPPORT
static int elf_getshdrstrndx(Elf *elf __maybe_unused, size_t *dst
__maybe_unused)
{
pr_err("%s: update your libelf to > 0.140, this one lacks
elf_getshdrstrndx().\n", __func__);
return -1;
}
#endif
And a feature detection for that:
[acme@five perf]$ cat tools/build/feature/test-libelf-getshdrstrndx.c
// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0
#include <libelf.h>
int main(void)
{
size_t dst;
return elf_getshdrstrndx(0, &dst);
}
[acme@five perf]$
Your implementation would provide a good fallback tho to avoid requiring
updating to 0.140 :-)
