LLVM14 added support for a new C attribute ([1])
   __attribute__((btf_tag("arbitrary_str")))
This attribute will be emitted to dwarf ([2]) and pahole
will convert it to BTF. Or for bpf target, this
attribute will be emitted to BTF directly ([3]).
The attribute is intended to provide additional
information for
   - struct/union type or struct/union member
   - static/global variables
   - static/global function or function parameter.

For linux kernel, the btf_tag can be applied
in various places to specify user pointer,
function pre- or post- condition, function
allow/deny in certain context, etc. Such information
will be encoded in vmlinux BTF and can be used
by verifier.

The btf_tag can also be applied to bpf programs
to help global verifiable functions, e.g.,
specifying preconditions, etc.

This patch added basic parsing and checking support
in kernel for new BTF_KIND_TAG kind.

offtop, but realized reading this: we should probably turn these into
enums and capture them in vmlinux BTF and subsequently in vmlinux.h

Sure. Will look into this.

what does "comp" stand for, component? If yes, it's quite non-obvious,
I wonder if just as generic "member" would be better (and no
contractions)? Maybe also not id (because I immediately thought about
BTF type IDs), but "index". So "member_idx"? "component_idx" would be
quite obvious as well, just a bit longer.

I will use component_idx as member_idx doesn't align well with function
parameters.

just realized that we could have reserved comp_id == (u32)-1 as the
meaning "applies to entire struct/func/etc"? This might be a bit
cleaner, because if you forget about kflag() semantics, you can treat
comp_id == 0 as if it applied to first member, but if we put
0xffffffff, you'll get SIGSEGV with high probability (making the
problem more obvious)?

Good idea. I will get rid of kflag requirement and only use
component_idx to indicate where the attribute is attached with
-1 indicate it is attached to the type itself. The llvm has
been changed with the new ELF format: https://reviews.llvm.org/D109560

comp_id and kflag should be logged as well, they are important part

Right, will log component_idx. kflag is not needed per above discussion.
