Needs for application BTF being present differs between user-space libbpf needs and kernel
needs. Currently, BTF is mandatory only in kernel only when BPF application is
using STRUCT_OPS. While libbpf itself relies more heavily on presense of BTF:
- for BTF-defined maps;
- for Kconfig externs;
- for STRUCT_OPS as well.
Thus, checks for presence and validness of bpf_object's BPF needs to be
performed separately, which is patch does.

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.
