Dump succinct information for each member of DATASEC: its kinds and name. This
is extremely helpful to see at a quick glance what is inside each DATASEC of
a given BTF. Without this, one has to jump around BTF data to just find out
the name of a VAR or FUNC. DATASEC's var_secinfo member is special in that
regard because it doesn't itself contain the name of the member, delegating
that to the referenced VAR and FUNC kinds. Other kinds, like
STRUCT/UNION/FUNC/ENUM, encode member names directly and thus are clearly
identifiable in BTF dump.
The new output looks like this:
[35] DATASEC '.bss' size=0 vlen=6
type_id=8 offset=0 size=4 (VAR 'input_bss1')
type_id=13 offset=0 size=4 (VAR 'input_bss_weak')
type_id=16 offset=0 size=4 (VAR 'output_bss1')
type_id=17 offset=0 size=4 (VAR 'output_data1')
type_id=18 offset=0 size=4 (VAR 'output_rodata1')
type_id=20 offset=0 size=8 (VAR 'output_sink1')
[36] DATASEC '.data' size=0 vlen=2
type_id=9 offset=0 size=4 (VAR 'input_data1')
type_id=14 offset=0 size=4 (VAR 'input_data_weak')

type_id=25 offset=0 size=4 (VAR 'LINUX_KERNEL_VERSION')
type_id=28 offset=0 size=1 (VAR 'CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL')
[38] DATASEC '.ksyms' size=0 vlen=1

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.
