Patch set [1] introduced BTF_KIND_TAG to allow tagging declarations for struct/union, struct/union field, var, func and func arguments and these tags will be encoded into dwarf. They are also encoded to btf by llvm for the bpf target. After BTF_KIND_TAG is introduced, we intended to use it for kernel __user attributes. But kernel __user is actually a type attribute. Upstream and internal discussion showed it is not a good idea to mix declaration attribute and type attribute. So we proposed to introduce btf_type_tag as a type attribute and existing btf_tag renamed to btf_decl_tag ([2]). This patch renamed BTF_KIND_TAG to BTF_KIND_DECL_TAG and some other declarations with *_tag to *_decl_tag to make it clear the tag is for declaration. In the future, BTF_KIND_TYPE_TAG might be introduced per [3].

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.
