Currently, socket types (struct tcp_sock, udp_sock, etc.)
used by bpf_skc_to_*() helpers are computed when vmlinux_btf
is first built in the kernel.
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 did exactly this, removing in-kernel btf_id
computation and utilizing build-time btf_id computation.
If CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF is not defined, BTF_ID_LIST will
define an array with size of 5, which is not enough for
btf_sock_ids. So define its own static array if
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF is not defined.

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.
