[PATCH v2 bpf-next 2/9] libbpf: remove assumption of single contiguous memory for BTF data

From: Andrii Nakryiko <hidden>
Date: 2020-09-26 01:14:33
Also in: bpf
Subsystem: bpf [general] (safe dynamic programs and tools), bpf [library] (libbpf), the rest · Maintainers: Alexei Starovoitov, Daniel Borkmann, Andrii Nakryiko, Eduard Zingerman, Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi, Linus Torvalds

Refactor internals of struct btf to remove assumptions that BTF header, type
data, and string data are layed out contiguously in a memory in a single
memory allocation. Now we have three separate pointers pointing to the start
of each respective are: header, types, strings. In the next patches, these
pointers will be re-assigned to point to independently allocated memory areas,
if BTF needs to be modified.
