Commit a26ca7c982 ("bpf: btf: Add pretty print support to
the basic arraymap") and 699c86d6ec ("bpf: btf: add pretty
print for hash/lru_hash maps") enabled support for BTF and
dumping via BPF fs for array and hash/lru map. However, both
can be decoupled from each other such that regular BPF maps
can be supported for attaching BTF key/value information,
while not all maps necessarily need to dump via map_seq_show_elem()
callback.
The basic sanity check which is a prerequisite for all maps
is that key/value size has to match in any case, and some maps
can have extra checks via map_check_btf() callback, e.g.
probing certain types or indicating no support in general. With
that we can also enable retrieving BTF info for per-cpu map
types and lpm.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
