__register_btf_kfunc_id_set() assumes .BTF to be part of the module's
.ko file if CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF is enabled. If that's not the case,
the function prints an error message and return an error. As a result,
such modules cannot be loaded.
However, the section could be stripped out during a build process. It
would be better to let the modules loaded, because their basic
functionalities have no problem[1], though the BTF functionalities will
not be supported. Make the function to lower the level of the message
from error to warn, and return no error.

I presume this one is targeted at bpf (rather than bpf-next) tree, right?

Why the above one needs to be changed? Do you also run into this case? vmlinux BTF
should be built-in in this case. I understand it's rather the one below for BTF +
modules instead, no?

You're correct. It's not urgent for us, but I would prefer it to be merged
into all affected kernels as early as possible.

Again, you're correct. This change is not really needed. I was interpreting
Kumar's suggestion merely into code without thinking about his real meaning,
sorry. I will restore this in the next spin.

Ok, sounds good, bpf tree it is then.

Perfect, I think after your v3 respin it should be good to land.

Thank you! I will send it by tomorrow, to give people enough time to comment.
If you don't want to wait, please let me know :)
Also, please note that this will not cleanly applicable on 6.1.y. I will
provide the backport to stable@ as soon as this is merged into the mainline.
Thanks,
