I still don't understand why you guys want to add it to vmlinux BTF.
The kernel has no use in this additional data.
It already knows about all kfuncs.
This extra memory is a waste of space from kernel pov.
Unless I am missing something.

imo this logic belongs in bpftool only.
It can dump vmlinux BTF and emit __ksym protos into vmlinux.h
