[RFC bpf-next 0/3] bpf: support module BTF in btf display helpers

[Alan Maguire]

This series aims to add support to bpf_snprintf_btf() and 
bpf_seq_printf_btf() allowing them to store string representations
of module-specific types, as well as the kernel-specific ones
they currently support.

Patch 1 adds an additional field "const char *module" to
"struct btf_ptr", allowing the specification of a module
name along with a data pointer, BTF id, etc.  It is then 
used to look up module BTF, rather than the default
vmlinux BTF.

Patch 2 makes a small fix to libbpf to allow 
btf__type_by_name[_kind] to work with split BTF.  Without
this fix, type lookup of a module-specific type id will fail
in patch 3.

Patch 3 is a selftest that uses veth (when built as a
module) and a kprobe to display both a module-specific 
and kernel-specific type; both are arguments to veth_stats_rx().

Alan Maguire (3):
  bpf: add module support to btf display helpers
  libbpf: bpf__find_by_name[_kind] should use btf__get_nr_types()
  selftests/bpf: verify module-specific types can be shown via
    bpf_snprintf_btf
