Alexei Starovoitov 740baecd81 Merge branch 'btf-func-info' 
Martin KaFai Lau says:

====================
The BTF support was added to kernel by Commit 69b693f0ae
("bpf: btf: Introduce BPF Type Format (BTF)"), which introduced
.BTF section into ELF file and is primarily
used for map pretty print.
pahole is used to convert dwarf to BTF for ELF files.

This patch added func info support to the kernel so we can
get better ksym's for bpf function calls. Basically,
function call types are passed to kernel and the kernel
extract function names from these types in order to contruct ksym
for these functions.

The llvm patch at https://reviews.llvm.org/D53736
will generate .BTF section and one more section .BTF.ext.
The .BTF.ext section encodes function type
information. The following is a sample output for selftests
test_btf with file test_btf_haskv.o for translated insns
and jited insns respectively.

Changelogs:
  v4 -> v5:
    . Add back BTF_KIND_FUNC_PROTO as v1 did.  The difference
      is BTF_KIND_FUNC_PROTO cannot have t->name_off now.
      All param metadata is defined in BTF_KIND_FUNC_PROTO.
      BTF_KIND_FUNC must have t->name_off != 0 and t->type
      refers to a BTF_KIND_FUNC_PROTO.

      The above is the conclusion after the discussion between
      Edward Cree, Alexei, Daniel, Yonghong and Martin.
  v3 -> v4:
    . Remove BTF_KIND_FUNC_PROTO. BTF_KIND_FUNC is used for
      both function pointer and subprogram. The name_off field
      is used to distinguish both.
    . The record size is added to the func_info subsection
      in .BTF.ext to enable future extension.
    . The bpf_prog_info interface change to make it similar
      bpf_prog_load.
    . Related kernel and libbpf changes to accommodate the
      new .BTF.ext and kernel interface changes.
  v2 -> v3:
    . Removed kernel btf extern functions btf_type_id_func()
      and btf_get_name_by_id(). Instead, exposing existing
      functions btf_type_by_id() and btf_name_by_offset().
    . Added comments about ELF section .BTF.ext layout.
    . Better codes in btftool as suggested by Edward Cree.
  v1 -> v2:
    . Added missing sign-off.
    . Limited the func_name/struct_member_name length for validity test.
    . Removed/changed several verifier messages.
    . Modified several commit messages to remove line_off reference.

README 

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.
