CI workflows failing due to two issues: deprecated actions/upload-artifact@v2.3.1 (EOL Feb 2024) and libbpf strlcpy poisoning conflict with glibc 2.38+.

Changes

1. Updated deprecated upload-artifact action

Updated actions/upload-artifact to v4 in:

  • .github/workflows/c-cpp.yml - added artifact name wasm-bpf-build
  • .github/workflows/build-static-wasm-bpf.yml - added artifact name libwasm_bpf
  • .github/workflows/rust.yml - added artifact name wasm-bpf-rs-build

v4 requires explicit name parameter:

- name: Upload build result
  uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
  with:
    name: wasm-bpf-build
    path: "runtime/cpp/build/bin/Release/wasm-bpf"

2. Fixed c-cpp workflow artifact upload

The c-cpp workflow was attempting to upload an artifact from an incorrect path after make clean deleted the build files. Fixed by:

  • Moving the upload step before the make clean step
  • Updating the artifact path from "wasm-bpf" to "runtime/cpp/build/bin/Release/wasm-bpf" (the actual build location)

This ensures the built binary is uploaded as an artifact before the cleanup step removes it.

3. Fixed libbpf strlcpy build error

The libbpf library was poisoning strlcpy to prevent its use, but glibc 2.38+ now includes strlcpy in string.h, causing compilation errors. Applied the upstream fix (commit 950cffc) by removing strlcpy from the poison pragma in runtime/cpp/third_party/bpftool/libbpf/src/libbpf_internal.h.

This resolves the build failure:

error: attempt to use poisoned "strlcpy"

Testing

  • ✅ Build completes successfully with all fixes applied
  • ✅ Artifact upload path verified to point to actual build output
  • ✅ Code review passed with no issues
  • ✅ Security scan completed with no vulnerabilities

The artifact upload step points to path: "wasm-bpf", but this workflow doesn't appear to create that file in the repo root. make -C runtime/cpp builds to runtime/cpp/build/bin/Release/wasm-bpf, and the subsequent make clean removes wasm-bpf (and the CMake build dir) before this upload step runs, so this upload will likely be empty. Consider uploading the actual build output path (e.g., under runtime/cpp/build/bin/...) and/or moving the upload step before the make clean call (or re-copy/rebuild the artifact after tests).

The reviewer is correct. Fixed in fc96676. The workflow was running make clean before the upload, which deleted the wasm-bpf binary. Moved the artifact upload step before the clean step and updated the path to upload from the actual build directory: runtime/cpp/build/bin/Release/wasm-bpf.

You're correct. Fixed in commit 5c41a14. The upload step was after make clean which deleted the file, and the path was incorrect. I've moved the upload before the clean step and changed the path to runtime/cpp/build/bin/Release/wasm-bpf where the binary is actually built.

Update bpftool submodule to include fix for strlcpy poisoning conflict.
The libbpf library was poisoning strlcpy to prevent its use, but glibc
2.38+ now includes strlcpy in string.h, causing compilation errors.

Applied upstream fix (950cffc) by removing strlcpy from the poison pragma
in libbpf_internal.h.

Fixed in commit 99f6c7c. The build was failing due to a libbpf strlcpy poisoning conflict with glibc 2.38+. Applied the upstream fix by removing strlcpy from the poison pragma in libbpf_internal.h. Build now completes successfully.

Move artifact upload before 'make clean' step and update path to actual
build location. Previously, the workflow ran 'make clean' which deleted
the wasm-bpf binary before attempting to upload it, resulting in an
empty artifact. Now uploads from runtime/cpp/build/bin/Release/wasm-bpf
before the clean step runs.

Move upload step before `make clean` and update path to actual build location.
The workflow was trying to upload `wasm-bpf` from root after `make clean`
deleted it. Now uploads from `runtime/cpp/build/bin/Release/wasm-bpf` before
cleaning, ensuring the artifact exists.
