While it's understandable why kernel limits number of BTF types to 65535 and size of string section to 64KB, in libbpf as user-space library it's too restrictive. E.g., pahole converting DWARF to BTF type information for Linux kernel generates more than 3 million BTF types and more than 3MB of strings, before deduplication. So to allow btf__dedup() to do its work, we need to be able to load bigger BTF sections using btf__new().

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.
