Map distilled base BTF type ids referenced in split BTF and their references to the base BTF passed in, and if the mapping succeeds, reparent the split BTF to the base BTF. Relocation is done by first verifying that distilled base BTF only consists of named INT, FLOAT, ENUM, FWD, STRUCT and UNION kinds; then we sort these to speed lookups. Once sorted, the base BTF is iterated, and for each relevant kind we check for an equivalent in distilled base BTF. When found, the mapping from distilled -> base BTF id and string offset is recorded. In establishing mappings, we need to ensure we check STRUCT/UNION size when the STRUCT/UNION is embedded in a split BTF STRUCT/UNION, and when duplicate names exist for the same STRUCT/UNION. Otherwise size is ignored in matching STRUCT/UNIONs. Once all mappings are established, we can update type ids and string offsets in split BTF and reparent it to the new base.

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 reStructuredText 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.
