printk supports multiple pointer object type specifiers (printing
netdev features etc). Extend this support using BTF to cover
arbitrary types. "%pT" specifies the typed format, and the pointer
argument is a "struct btf_ptr *" where struct btf_ptr is as follows:
struct btf_ptr {
void *ptr;
const char *type;
u32 id;
};
Either the "type" string ("struct sk_buff") or the BTF "id" can be
used to identify the type to use in displaying the associated "ptr"
value. A convenience function to create and point at the struct
is provided:
printk(KERN_INFO "%pT", BTF_PTR_TYPE(skb, struct sk_buff));
When invoked, BTF information is used to traverse the sk_buff *
and display it. Support is present for structs, unions, enums,
typedefs and core types (though in the latter case there's not
much value in using this feature of course).
Default output is indented, but compact output can be specified
via the 'c' option. Type names/member values can be suppressed
using the 'N' option. Zero values are not displayed by default
but can be using the '0' option. Pointer values are obfuscated
unless the 'x' option is specified. As an example:
struct sk_buff *skb = alloc_skb(64, GFP_KERNEL);
pr_info("%pT", BTF_PTR_TYPE(skb, struct sk_buff));
...gives us:
(struct sk_buff){
.transport_header = (__u16)65535,
.mac_header = (__u16)65535,
.end = (sk_buff_data_t)192,
.head = (unsigned char *)000000006b71155a,
.data = (unsigned char *)000000006b71155a,
.truesize = (unsigned int)768,
.users = (refcount_t){
.refs = (atomic_t){
.counter = (int)1,
},
},
.extensions = (struct skb_ext *)00000000f486a130,
}
printk output is truncated at 1024 bytes. For cases where overflow
is likely, the compact/no type names display modes may be used.

+BTF-based printing of pointer data
+----------------------------------
+If '%pT' is specified, use the struct btf_ptr * along with kernel vmlinux
+BPF Type Format (BTF) to show the typed data. For example, specifying
+
+ printk(KERN_INFO "%pT", BTF_PTR_TYPE(skb, struct_sk_buff));
+
+will utilize BTF information to traverse the struct sk_buff * and display it.
+
+Supported modifers are
+ 'c' compact output (no indentation, newlines etc)
+ 'N' do not show type names
+ 'x' show raw pointers (no obfuscation)
+ '0' show zero-valued data (it is not shown by default)
+
Thanks
