a given BTF. Without this, one has to jump around BTF data to just find out
the name of a VAR or FUNC. DATASEC's var_secinfo member is special in that
regard because it doesn't itself contain the name of the member, delegating
that to the referenced VAR and FUNC kinds. Other kinds, like
STRUCT/UNION/FUNC/ENUM, encode member names directly and thus are clearly
identifiable in BTF dump.
The new output looks like this:
[35] DATASEC '.bss' size=0 vlen=6
type_id=8 offset=0 size=4 (VAR 'input_bss1')
type_id=13 offset=0 size=4 (VAR 'input_bss_weak')
type_id=16 offset=0 size=4 (VAR 'output_bss1')
type_id=17 offset=0 size=4 (VAR 'output_data1')
type_id=18 offset=0 size=4 (VAR 'output_rodata1')
type_id=20 offset=0 size=8 (VAR 'output_sink1')
[36] DATASEC '.data' size=0 vlen=2
type_id=9 offset=0 size=4 (VAR 'input_data1')
type_id=14 offset=0 size=4 (VAR 'input_data_weak')
[37] DATASEC '.kconfig' size=0 vlen=2
type_id=25 offset=0 size=4 (VAR 'LINUX_KERNEL_VERSION')
type_id=28 offset=0 size=1 (VAR 'CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL')
[38] DATASEC '.ksyms' size=0 vlen=1
type_id=30 offset=0 size=1 (VAR 'bpf_link_fops')
[39] DATASEC '.rodata' size=0 vlen=2
type_id=12 offset=0 size=4 (VAR 'input_rodata1')
type_id=15 offset=0 size=4 (VAR 'input_rodata_weak')
[40] DATASEC 'license' size=0 vlen=1
type_id=24 offset=0 size=4 (VAR 'LICENSE')
