Yonghong Song 2993e0515b tools/bpf: add support to read .BTF.ext sections
The .BTF section is already available to encode types.
These types can be used for map
pretty print. The whole .BTF will be passed to the
kernel as well for which kernel can verify and return
to the user space for pretty print etc.

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 and line information. Note that
this patch set only supports function type info.
The functionality is implemented in libbpf.

The .BTF section can be directly loaded into the
kernel, and the .BTF.ext section cannot. The loader
may need to do some relocation and merging,
similar to merging multiple code sections, before
loading into the kernel.
