Got it, thanks for your detailed reply.

Hi, Nakryiko, thank you for your reply. I try to familiarize with core
in libbpf, the debug info is really helpful for me. But i use the old
kernel btf, so origion debuginfo like:
   struct task_struct___x: found target candidate [130] struct
task_struct in [vmlinux]

the idea here is to not emit path to BTF (otherwise we normally should
emit [/sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux], but rather distinguish whether it's a
kernel BTF ([vmlinux]) or some kernel module BTF ([<module-name>]).

In your case you are overriding vmlinux BTF by using btf_custom_path
option (so you should know where to find it, if you need to debug
something). It's still, conceptually, a [vmlinux], and I'd like to
keep it this way.

I think it may be more clear, if we print btf name when we use old
kernel btf like:
   struct task_struct___x: found target candidate [130] struct
task_struct in [/boot/***.btf]
The patch just solve debug info show for newbies above.

No logic changed, just add specific btf name when core info
print, maybe it seems more understandable.

Can you elaborate on what problem you are trying to solve?
Conceptually libbpf does look for types in vmlinux (meaning main
kernel BTF), even if user overrides BTF location (presumably because
of old kernel). So even when we emit "vmlinux" in logs, it seems
correct.
