bpf_arena_spin_lock.h defines its 64KB qnodes array in the header, so every translation unit including it emits a copy. __weak makes them all resolve to one instance, but bpftool gen object merges only the symbols and concatenates each input's .addr_space.1 bytes, leaving the surplus copies unreferenced in the linked object. libarena links ten such units, so nine copies were dead weight (bytes): object before after ----------------------------------------------------- .addr_space.1 in libarena.bpf.o 676200 86376 libarena.skel.h 2100123 892371 libarena_asan.skel.h 2641124 1466477 Declare qnodes in the header and let each program define it once: libarena in src/common.bpf.c, and the arena_spin_lock test beside the lock it guards. Tested with test_progs -t arena_spin_lock and -t libarena.
