Agree about being a bit confusing. But I don't want VOID in every BTF,
that seems sloppy (there's no continuity). I'm currently doing similar
changes on kernel side, and so far everything also works cleanly with
start_id == 0 && nr_types including VOID (for base BTF), and start_id
== base_btf->nr_type && nr_types has all the added types (for split
BTF). That seems a bit more straightforward, so I'll probably do that
here as well (unless I'm missing something, I'll double check).

this won't work, if str_len == 0. Both str_len - 1 will underflow, and
end[-1] will be reading garbage

How about this:

if (btf->base_btf && hdr->str_len == 0)
    return 0;

if (!hdr->str_len || hdr->str_len - 1 > BTF_MAX_STR_OFFSET || end[-1])
    return -EINVAL;

if (!btf->base_btf && start[0])
    return -EINVAL;

return 0;

This seems more straightforward, right?
