Pass the fd of a btf from the userspace to the bpf() syscall, and then convert the fd into a btf. The btf is generated from the module that defines the target BPF struct_ops type. In order to inform the kernel about the module that defines the target struct_ops type, the userspace program needs to provide a btf fd for the respective module's btf. This btf contains essential information on the types defined within the module, including the target struct_ops type. A btf fd must be provided to the kernel for struct_ops maps and for the bpf programs attached to those maps. In the case of the bpf programs, the attach_btf_obj_fd parameter is passed as part of the bpf_attr and is converted into a btf. This btf is then stored in the prog->aux->attach_btf field. Here, it just let the verifier access attach_btf directly. In the case of struct_ops maps, a btf fd is passed as value_type_btf_obj_fd of bpf_attr. The bpf_struct_ops_map_alloc() function converts the fd to a btf and stores it as st_map->btf. A flag BPF_F_VTYPE_BTF_OBJ_FD is added for map_flags to indicate that the value of value_type_btf_obj_fd is set.

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.
