Series [RFC,bpf-next,1/6] bpf: provide function to get vmlinux BTF information | expand

Commit Message

Alan Maguire April 17, 2020, 10:42 a.m. UTC 
generalize the "seq_show" seq file support in btf.c to support
a generic show callback of which we support two instances; the
current seq file show, and a show with snprintf() behaviour which
instead writes the type data to a supplied string.

Both classes of show function call btf_type_show() with different
targets; the seq file or the string to be written.  In the string
case we need to track additional data - length left in string to write
and length to return that we would have written (a la snprintf).

Also support flag to emit field information BTF_SHOW_NAME.
