Currently, dumping almost all BTFs specified by id requires using the -B option to pass the base BTF. For kernel module BTFs the vmlinux BTF sysfs path should work. This patch simplifies dumping by ID usage by loading vmlinux BTF from sysfs as base, if base BTF was not specified and the ID corresponds to a kernel module BTF. Signed-off-by: Larysa Zaremba <larysa.zaremba@xxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Alexander Lobakin <alexandr.lobakin@xxxxxxxxx> --- >From v2[0]: - instead of using vmlinux as base only after the first unsuccessful attempt, set base to vmlinux before loading in applicable cases, precisely if no base was provided by user and id belongs to a kernel module BTF. >From v1[1]: - base BTF is assumed to be vmlinux only for kernel BTFs.
