Our selftests of course rely on the kernel being built with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y, though this (nor its dependencies of CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y and CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_DWARF4=y) are not specified. This causes the wrong kernel to be built, and selftests to similarly fail to build. Additionally, in the BPF selftests kconfig file, CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_MARK=y is specified, so that the 'u_int32_t mark' field will be present in the definition of struct nf_conn. While a dependency of CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_MARK=y, CONFIG_NETFILTER_ADVANCED=y, should be enabled by default, I've run into instances of CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_MARK not being set because CONFIG_NETFILTER_ADVANCED isn't set, and have to manually enable them with make menuconfig. Let's add these missing kconfig options to the file so that the necessary dependencies are in place to build vmlinux. Otherwise, we'll get errors like this when we try to compile selftests and generate vmlinux.h: $ cd /path/to/bpf-next $ make mrproper; make defconfig $ cat tools/testing/selftests/config >> .config $ make -j ... $ cd tools/testing/selftests/bpf $ make clean $ make -j ...

Linux kernel
============
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.
