Andrii Nakryiko says: ==================== This patch sets extends kernel and libbpf with support for attaching BTF-powered raw tracepoint (tp_btf) and tracing (fentry/fexit/fmod_ret/lsm) BPF programs to BPF hooks defined in kernel modules. As part of that, libbpf now supports performing CO-RE relocations against types in kernel module BTFs, in addition to existing vmlinux BTF support. Kernel UAPI for BPF_PROG_LOAD now allows to specify kernel module (or vmlinux) BTF object FD in attach_btf_obj_fd field, aliased to attach_prog_fd. This is used to identify which BTF object needs to be used for finding BTF type by provided attach_btf_id. This patch set also sets up a convenient and fully-controlled custom kernel module (called "bpf_testmod"), that is a predictable playground for all the BPF selftests, that rely on module BTFs. Currently pahole doesn't generate BTF_KIND_FUNC info for ftrace-able static functions in kernel modules, so expose traced function in bpf_sidecar.ko. Once pahole is enhanced, we can go back to static function. From end user perspective there are no extra actions that need to happen. Libbpf will continue searching across all kernel module BTFs, if desired attach BTF type is not found in vmlinux. That way it doesn't matter if BPF hook that user is trying to attach to is built into vmlinux image or is loaded in kernel module. v5->v6: - move btf_put() back to syscall.c (kernel test robot); - added close(fd) in patch #5 (John); v4->v5: - use FD to specify BTF object (Alexei); - move prog->aux->attach_btf putting into bpf_prog_free() for consistency with putting prog->aux->dst_prog; - fix BTF FD leak(s) in libbpf; v3->v4: - merge together patch sets [0] and [1]; - avoid increasing bpf_reg_state by reordering fields (Alexei); - preserve btf_data_size in struct module; v2->v3: - fix subtle uninitialized variable use in BTF ID iteration code; v1->v2: - module_put() inside preempt_disable() region (Alexei); - bpf_sidecar -> bpf_testmod rename (Alexei); - test_progs more relaxed handling of bpf_testmod; - test_progs marks skipped sub-tests properly as SKIP now.

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.
