As CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF is default off the existing "failed to find valid kernel BTF" message makes diagnosing the kernel build issue somewhat cryptic. Add a little more detail with the hope of helping users. Before: ``` libbpf: failed to find valid kernel BTF libbpf: Error loading vmlinux BTF: -3 ``` After not accessible: ``` libbpf: kernel BTF is missing at '/sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux', was CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF enabled? libbpf: failed to find valid kernel BTF libbpf: Error loading vmlinux BTF: -3 ``` After not readable: ``` libbpf: failed to read kernel BTF from (/sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux): -1 ``` Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/CAP-5=fU+DN_+Y=Y4gtELUsJxKNDDCOvJzPHvjUVaUoeFAzNnig@mail.gmail.com/ Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrii Nakryiko <andrii@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20240125231840.1647951-1-irogers@google.com
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.
