Daniel Borkmann 1713d68b3b bpf, libbpf: add support for BTF Var and DataSec
This adds libbpf support for BTF Var and DataSec kinds. Main point
here is that libbpf needs to do some preparatory work before the
whole BTF object can be loaded into the kernel, that is, fixing up
of DataSec size taken from the ELF section size and non-static
variable offset which needs to be taken from the ELF's string section.

Upstream LLVM doesn't fix these up since at time of BTF emission
it is too early in the compilation process thus this information
isn't available yet, hence loader needs to take care of it.

Note, deduplication handling has not been in the scope of this work
and needs to be addressed in a future commit.

README

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.
