Hi Nakryiko, thank you for your reply. Yes, i happed to put the raw
BTF made by myself in /boot on kernel4.19, unluckly it reported error.
So is it possible to allow the raw BTF in /boot directly, athough we
can set the specified btf location again to solve the problem with the
bpf_object_open_opts interface.
As you say, maybe we can remove the locations[i].raw_btf check, just
use the btf__parse. It looks more concise.

It's not clear what you are trying to achieve. Do you want libbpf to
attempt to load /boot/vmlinux-%1$s as raw BTF as well (so you can sort
of sneak in pregenerated BTF), or what exactly?
btf__load_vmlinux_btf() code already supports loading raw BTF, it just
needs to be explicitly specified in locations table.
So with your change locations[i].raw_btf check doesn't make sense and
we need to clean this up.
But first, let's discuss the use case, instead of your specific solution.
