Merge branch 'libbpf: Support uniform BTF-defined key/value specification across all BPF maps'
Hengqi Chen says: ==================== Currently a bunch of (usually pretty specialized) BPF maps do not support specifying BTF types for they key and value. For such maps, specifying their definition like this: struct { __uint(type, BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY); __type(key, int); __type(value, int); } my_perf_buf SEC(".maps"); Would actually produce warnings about retrying BPF map creation without BTF. Users are forced to know such nuances and use __uint(key_size, 4) instead. This is non-uniform, annoying, and inconvenient. This patch set teaches libbpf to recognize those specialized maps and removes BTF type IDs when creating BPF map. Also, update existing BPF selftests to exericse this change. ==================== Signed-off-by: Andrii Nakryiko <andrii@kernel.org>
