[PATCH v2 bpf-next 0/3] libbpf: BTF typed dump cleanups

From: Alan Maguire <hidden>
Date: 2021-07-16 22:48:22
Also in: bpf, linux-kselftest, lkml

Fix issues with libbpf BTF typed dump code.  Patch 1 addresses handling
of unaligned data. Patch 2 fixes issues Andrii noticed when compiling
on ppc64le.  Patch 3 simplifies typed dump by getting rid of allocation
of dump data structure which tracks dump state etc.

Changes since v1:

 - Andrii suggested using a function instead of a macro for checking
   alignment of data, and pointed out that we need to consider dump
   ptr size versus native pointer size (patch 1)

Alan Maguire (3):
  libbpf: clarify/fix unaligned data issues for btf typed dump
  libbpf: fix compilation errors on ppc64le for btf dump typed data
  libbpf: btf typed dump does not need to allocate dump data
