When trying to convert the BTF for a function pointer marked "noreturn" to C code, bpftool currently generates a syntax error. This happens with the exit() pointer in drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/efistub.h, in an arm64 vmlinux. When dealing with this declaration: efi_status_t __noreturn (__efiapi *exit)(...); bpftool produces the following output: efi_status_tvolatile (*exit)(...); Fix the error by inserting the space before the function modifier.
