Subject: [PATCH RESEND bpf-next] bpftool: Use sysfs vmlinux when dumping BTF by ID
Date:   Thu, 28 Apr 2022 13:14:42 +0200
Message-Id: <20220428111442.111805-1-larysa.zaremba@intel.com>

Currently, dumping almost all BTFs specified by id requires
using the -B option to pass the base BTF. For most cases
the vmlinux BTF sysfs path should work.

This patch simplifies dumping by ID usage by attempting to
use vmlinux BTF from sysfs, if the first try of loading BTF by ID
fails with certain conditions.
