Which is super cool, thanks for working on this.
Please take a look at the 'fullcircle' tool in the pahole repo, I once
used it on all the single CU .o files in the kernel build to make sure
that we generate a source code and then object file that matches the
original object file (and thus its .c file), at least in layouts.
Doing it with BTF too after your change would be fantastic.
Now to review your patch, at first it looks big, but perhaps its
inherent to the change and we can't break it into smaller steps, will
see.
