Simplify gen_btf logic to make it work with llvm-objcopy. The existing 'file format' and 'architecture' parsing logic is brittle and does not work with llvm-objcopy/llvm-objdump. 'file format' output of llvm-objdump>=11 will match GNU objdump, but 'architecture' (bfdarch) may not. .BTF in .tmp_vmlinux.btf is non-SHF_ALLOC. Add the SHF_ALLOC flag because it is part of vmlinux image used for introspection. C code can reference the section via linker script defined __start_BTF and __stop_BTF. This fixes a small problem that previous .BTF had the SHF_WRITE flag (objcopy -I binary -O elf* synthesized .data). Additionally, `objcopy -I binary` synthesized symbols _binary__btf_vmlinux_bin_start and _binary__btf_vmlinux_bin_stop (not used elsewhere) are replaced with more commonplace __start_BTF and __stop_BTF. Add 2>/dev/null because GNU objcopy (but not llvm-objcopy) warns "empty loadable segment detected at vaddr=0xffffffff81000000, is this intentional?" We use a dd command to change the e_type field in the ELF header from ET_EXEC to ET_REL so that lld will accept .btf.vmlinux.bin.o. Accepting ET_EXEC as an input file is an extremely rare GNU ld feature that lld does not intend to support, because this is error-prone. The output section description .BTF in include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h avoids potential subtle orphan section placement issues and suppresses --orphan-handling=warn warnings. Fixes: |

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.
