Pseudo_btf_id is a type of ld_imm insn that associates a btf_id to a ksym so that further dereferences on the ksym can use the BTF info to validate accesses. Internally, when seeing a pseudo_btf_id ld insn, the verifier reads the btf_id stored in the insn[0]'s imm field and marks the dst_reg as PTR_TO_BTF_ID. The btf_id points to a VAR_KIND, which is encoded in btf_vminux by pahole. If the VAR is not of a struct type, the dst reg will be marked as PTR_TO_MEM instead of PTR_TO_BTF_ID and the mem_size is resolved to the size of the VAR's type. >From the VAR btf_id, the verifier can also read the address of the ksym's corresponding kernel var from kallsyms and use that to fill dst_reg. Therefore, the proper functionality of pseudo_btf_id depends on (1) kallsyms and (2) the encoding of kernel global VARs in pahole, which should be available since pahole v1.18. Signed-off-by:
