Detailed description

Currently, dwarfdump doesn't correctly generate the path if make changes the directory e.g., uses make -C src, it will create duplicate entries of subdirectories as shown here

        {
                    "name": "phs",
                    "cu_offset": 29106,
                    "scope": {
                        "lowpc": 202080,
                        "highpc": 202220
                    },
                    "decl_lno": 1885,
                    "decl_fn": "/mnt/c/Users/andre/OneDrive/Desktop/lava/target_injections/file/file-5.30/src/src/apprentice.c",
                    "loc_op": [
                        "DW_OP_fbreg",
                        -4768
                    ],
                    "type": 80935
                },

A quick fix is to add a function to check the assignment of fn and decl_fn, where the user provides the known root, e.g. /mnt/c/Users/andre/OneDrive/Desktop/lava/target_injections/file/file-5.30 and uses regex to cut any duplicates downstream for final assembly.

It performs sanity checks on the hard disk to confirm that the file exists before inserting it into the JSON. See the screenshot showing the corrected files:

GitHub Actions Updates

Also, I put some important CI/CD and bumped the actions because of this warning

https://github.com/panda-re/panda/actions/runs/26796731914

As for how I updated the labeler, I used Prowler and LAVA to confirm the labels were updated correctly

AARCH64 had a missing entry in kernel.conf

I used the following commands within a recording to fill out the entry

print("[-->] Injecting kernelinfo.ko into guest...")
panda.copy_to_guest("/mnt/c/Users/andre/OneDrive/Desktop/kernelinfo.ko", absolute_paths=True)

# 3. Execute the kernel module inside the guest
# Note: The double '/kernelinfo.ko/kernelinfo.ko' path is a quirk of how 
# copy_to_guest handled the transfer on this specific snapshot.
print("[-->] Executing kernel module (Operation Not Permitted error is expected!)...")
panda.run_serial_cmd("sudo insmod /mnt/c/Users/andre/OneDrive/Desktop/kernelinfo.ko/kernelinfo.ko", timeout=60)

# 4. Harvest the dynamic offsets from the kernel ring buffer
print("[-->] Harvesting kernel info profile from dmesg:")
dynamic_offsets = panda.run_serial_cmd("sudo dmesg | tail -n 70", timeout=60)
print(dynamic_offsets)

# =======================================================================
# PHASE 2: STATIC SYMBOLS (via kallsyms)
# =======================================================================
print("\n[+] PHASE 2: Hunting Static Kernel Symbols...")

# 5. Grab finish_task_switch (Required for task.switch_task_hook_addr)
# We use the '$' regex anchor to ensure we don't accidentally grab wrapper functions
print("[-->] Getting finish_task_switch...")
switch_hook = panda.run_serial_cmd("cat /proc/kallsyms | grep ' finish_task_switch$'", timeout=15)
print(switch_hook)

# 6. Grab init_task (Required for task.init_addr & task.current_task_addr)
print("\n[-->] Getting init_task...")
init_addr = panda.run_serial_cmd("cat /proc/kallsyms | grep ' init_task$'", timeout=15)
print(init_addr)

print("\n[+] PROFILE EXTRACTION COMPLETE!")
print("[!] Reminder: Convert the static hex addresses to decimal before pasting into kernel.conf.")

Test plan

I'm manually checking my JSON files from DwarfDump to confirm they return the expected file paths.

Pull request overview

This PR aims to (1) correct incorrect/duplicated source file paths emitted into DwarfDump-derived JSON by adding a root-aware path “de-stuttering” resolver, and (2) update CI/CD workflows (manual version bump input + action version upgrades, plus safer docs publishing).

Changes:

• Add resolve_real_path() and plumb optional project_root through parse_dwarfdump() and CLI/env handling to repair duplicated path segments.
• Upgrade multiple GitHub Actions used for Docker builds/tests and add a workflow_dispatch input to choose version bump type.
• Avoid attempting to commit/push docs when there are no documentation changes.
