The kernel struct_ops obj has kernel's func ptrs implemented by bpf_progs. The bpf prog_id is stored as the value of the func ptr for introspection purpose. In the latter patch, a struct_ops dump subcmd will be added to introspect these func ptrs. It is desired to print the actual bpf prog_name instead of only printing the prog_id. Since struct_ops is the only usecase storing prog_id in the func ptr, this patch adds a prog_id_as_func_ptr bool (default is false) to "struct btf_dumper" in order not to mis-interpret the ptr value for the other existing use-cases. While printing a func_ptr as a bpf prog_name, this patch also prefix the bpf prog_name with the ptr's func_proto. [ Note that it is the ptr's func_proto instead of the bpf prog's func_proto ] It reuses the current btf_dump_func() to obtain the ptr's func_proto string.

============
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.
