Andrii Nakryiko 5b438f01d7 bpftool: Dump more info about DATASEC members
Dump succinct information for each member of DATASEC: its kinds and name. This
is extremely helpful to see at a quick glance what is inside each DATASEC of
a given BTF. Without this, one has to jump around BTF data to just find out
the name of a VAR or FUNC. DATASEC's var_secinfo member is special in that
regard because it doesn't itself contain the name of the member, delegating
that to the referenced VAR and FUNC kinds. Other kinds, like
STRUCT/UNION/FUNC/ENUM, encode member names directly and thus are clearly
identifiable in BTF dump.

The new output looks like this:

[35] DATASEC '.bss' size=0 vlen=6
        type_id=8 offset=0 size=4 (VAR 'input_bss1')
        type_id=13 offset=0 size=4 (VAR 'input_bss_weak')
        type_id=16 offset=0 size=4 (VAR 'output_bss1')
        type_id=17 offset=0 size=4 (VAR 'output_data1')
        type_id=18 offset=0 size=4 (VAR 'output_rodata1')
        type_id=20 offset=0 size=8 (VAR 'output_sink1')
[36] DATASEC '.data' size=0 vlen=2
        type_id=9 offset=0 size=4 (VAR 'input_data1')
        type_id=14 offset=0 size=4 (VAR 'input_data_weak')
[37] DATASEC '.kconfig' size=0 vlen=2
        type_id=25 offset=0 size=4 (VAR 'LINUX_KERNEL_VERSION')
        type_id=28 offset=0 size=1 (VAR 'CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL')
[38] DATASEC '.ksyms' size=0 vlen=1
        type_id=30 offset=0 size=1 (VAR 'bpf_link_fops')
[39] DATASEC '.rodata' size=0 vlen=2
        type_id=12 offset=0 size=4 (VAR 'input_rodata1')
        type_id=15 offset=0 size=4 (VAR 'input_rodata_weak')
[40] DATASEC 'license' size=0 vlen=1
        type_id=24 offset=0 size=4 (VAR 'LICENSE')

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.
