From 1c8f46578d03bc6e89b9966a107115d26d8ae354 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Luis Gerhorst Date: Mon, 27 Feb 2023 16:08:54 +0100 Subject: tools: bpftool: Remove invalid \' json escape [ Upstream commit c679bbd611c08b0559ffae079330bc4e5574696a ] RFC8259 ("The JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) Data Interchange Format") only specifies \", \\, \/, \b, \f, \n, \r, and \r as valid two-character escape sequences. This does not include \', which is not required in JSON because it exclusively uses double quotes as string separators. Solidus (/) may be escaped, but does not have to. Only reverse solidus (\), double quotes ("), and the control characters have to be escaped. Therefore, with this fix, bpftool correctly supports all valid two-character escape sequences (but still does not support characters that require multi-character escape sequences). Witout this fix, attempting to load a JSON file generated by bpftool using Python 3.10.6's default json.load() may fail with the error "Invalid \escape" if the file contains the invalid escaped single quote (\').
