So, the commit log message for the pahole patch is non-existent: https://github.com/iamkafai/pahole/commit/94a11b59e5920908085bfc8d24c92f95c8ffceaf we should do better in describing what is done and how, I'm staring with a message you sent to the kernel part: -- This patch introduces BPF Type Format (BTF). BTF (BPF Type Format) is the meta data format which describes the data types of BPF program/map. Hence, it basically focus on the C programming language which the modern BPF is primary using. The first use case is to provide a generic pretty print capability for a BPF map.
