====================
Commit 5a2798ab32
("bpf: Add BTF_ID_LIST/BTF_ID/BTF_ID_UNUSED macros")
implemented a mechanism to compute btf_ids at kernel build
time which can simplify kernel implementation and reduce
runtime overhead by removing in-kernel btf_id calculation.
This patch set tried to use this mechanism to compute
btf_ids for bpf_skc_to_*() helpers and for btf_id_or_null ctx
arguments specified during bpf iterator registration.
Please see individual patch for details.
Changelogs:
v1 -> v2:
- v1 ([1]) is only for bpf_skc_to_*() helpers. This version
expanded it to cover ctx btf_id_or_null arguments
- abandoned the change of "extern u32 name[]" to
"static u32 name[]" for BPF_ID_LIST local "name" definition.
gcc 9 incurred a compilation error.

============
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.
