Now that kptr_off_tab has been refactored into btf_record, and can hold more than one specific field type, accomodate bpf_spin_lock and bpf_timer as well. While they don't require any more metadata than offset, having all special fields in one place allows us to share the same code for allocated user defined types and handle both map values and these allocated objects in a similar fashion. As an optimization, we still keep spin_lock_off and timer_off offsets in the btf_record structure, just to avoid having to find the btf_field struct each time their offset is needed. This is mostly needed to manipulate such objects in a map value at runtime. It's ok to hardcode just one offset as more than one field is disallowed.

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.
