Subject: btf: Support kernel parsing of BTF with layout info
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=626e88c070eef03412f3e2ce109013e797657784;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

btf: Support kernel parsing of BTF with layout info

Validate layout if present, but because the kernel must be
strict in what it accepts, reject BTF with unsupported kinds,
even if they are in the layout information.
