Andrii Nakryiko says: ==================== Add support for loading and storing BTF in either little- or big-endian integer encodings, regardless of host endianness. This allows users of libbpf to not care about endianness when they don't want to and transparently open/load BTF of any endianness. libbpf will preserve original endianness and will convert output raw data as necessary back to original endianness, if necessary. This allows tools like pahole to be ignorant to such issues during cross-compilation. While working with BTF data in memory, the endianness is always native to the host. Convetion can happen only during btf__get_raw_data() call, and only in a raw data copy. Additionally, it's possible to force output BTF endianness through new btf__set_endianness() API. This which allows to create flexible tools doing arbitrary conversions of BTF endianness, just by relying on libbpf.

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.
