====================
This patchset adds:
- support to generate BTF ID lists that are resolved during
kernel linking and usable within kernel code with following
macros:
BTF_ID_LIST(bpf_skb_output_btf_ids)
BTF_ID(struct, sk_buff)
and access it in kernel code via:
extern u32 bpf_skb_output_btf_ids[];
- resolve_btfids tool that scans elf object for .BTF_ids
section and resolves its symbols with BTF ID values
- resolving of bpf_ctx_convert struct and several other
objects with BTF_ID_LIST
v7 changes:
- added more acks [Andrii]
- added some name-conflicting entries and fixed resolve_btfids
to process them properly [Andrii]
- changed bpf_get_task_stack_proto to use BTF_IDS_LIST/BTF_ID
macros [Andrii]
- fixed selftest build for resolve_btfids test

============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
