Merge branch 'tools: bpftool: update, synchronise and validate types and options'
Quentin Monnet says: ==================== To work with the different program types, map types, attach types etc. supported by eBPF, bpftool needs occasional updates to learn about the new features supported by the kernel. When such types translate into new keyword for the command line, updates are expected in several locations: typically, the help message displayed from bpftool itself, the manual page, and the bash completion file should be updated. The options used by the different commands for bpftool should also remain synchronised at those locations. Several omissions have occurred in the past, and a number of types are still missing today. This set is an attempt to improve the situation. It brings up-to-date the lists of types or options in bpftool, and also adds a Python script to the BPF selftests to automatically check that most of these lists remain synchronised. v2: - Reformat some lines in the bash completion file. - Do not reformat attach types, to preserve git-blame history. - Do not call Python script from tools/testing/selftests/bpf/Makefile. ==================== Signed-off-by: Andrii Nakryiko <andrii@kernel.org>

+ -B, --base-btf *FILE*
+ Pass a base BTF object. Base BTF objects are typically used
+ with BTF objects for kernel modules. To avoid duplicating
+ all kernel symbols required by modules, BTF objects for
+ modules are "split", they are built incrementally on top of
+ the kernel (vmlinux) BTF object. So the base BTF reference
+ should usually point to the kernel BTF.
+
+ When the main BTF object to process (for example, the
+ module BTF to dump) is passed as a *FILE*, bpftool attempts
+ to autodetect the path for the base object, and passing
+ this option is optional. When the main BTF object is passed
+ through other handles, this option becomes necessary.
