The .BTF_ids section is pre-filled with zeroed BTF ID entries during the
build and afterwards patched by resolve_btfids with correct values.
Since resolve_btfids always writes in host-native endianness, it relies
on libelf to do the translation when the target ELF is cross-compiled to
a different endianness (this was introduced in commit 61e8aeda9398
("bpf: Fix libelf endian handling in resolv_btfids")).
Unfortunately, the translation will corrupt the flags fields of SET8
entries because these were written during vmlinux compilation and are in
the correct endianness already. This will lead to numerous selftests
failures such as:
$ sudo ./test_verifier 502 502
#502/p sleepable fentry accept FAIL
Failed to load prog 'Invalid argument'!
bpf_fentry_test1 is not sleepable
verification time 34 usec
stack depth 0
processed 0 insns (limit 1000000) max_states_per_insn 0 total_states 0 peak_states 0 mark_read 0
Summary: 0 PASSED, 0 SKIPPED, 1 FAILED
Since it's not possible to instruct libelf to translate just certain
values, let's manually bswap the flags (both global and entry flags) in
resolve_btfids when needed, so that libelf then translates everything
correctly.

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.
