Linux kernel source tree
The btf.h header included with libbpf contains inline helper functions to check for various BTF kinds. These helpers directly reference the BTF_KIND_* constants defined in the kernel header, and because the header file is included in user applications, this happens in the user application compile units. This presents a problem if a user application is compiled on a system with older kernel headers because the constants are not available. To avoid this, add #defines of the constants directly in btf.h before using them. Since the kernel header moved to an enum for BTF_KIND_*, the #defines can shadow the enum values without any errors, so we only need #ifndef guards for the constants that predates the conversion to enum. We group these so there's only one guard for groups of values that were added together. [0] Closes: https://github.com/libbpf/libbpf/issues/436 Fixes: |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
