Subject: [PATCH 1/2] libbpf: show more info about missing ".BTF" section
Date: Sat, 26 Nov 2022 19:11:46 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221126111147.199366-2-changbin.du@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20221126111147.199366-1-changbin.du@gmail.com>

Show more information about why failed instead of just saying "No such file or
directory".

Now will print below info:
libbpf: can not find '.BTF' section
libbpf: is CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF enabled for kernel?
Error: failed to load BTF from /home/changbin/work/linux/vmlinux: No such file or directory
