ret < 0 is an error, which will no longer be propagated. Silently
consuming an error is what I'm worried about.

Yes, please. KCONFIG_SEC has a similar level of indentation, it's been
manageable so far.

libbpf doesn't validate BTF for complete correctness, but if it will,
it's better to do it in one place, instead of multiple partial checks
spread out everywhere. Good thing is that the kernel will always
strictly validate everything in the end.

Ah, I see. Ok, then you'll need to skip the skip_mods_and_typedef for
funcs (you'll have a special weak check just for funcs anyway). But I
still prefer to keep all the logic for KSYMS_SEC in one place. Thanks.
