Currently, btf only supports up to 64-bit integer. On the other hand, 128bit support for gcc and clang has existed for a long time. For example, both gcc 4.8 and llvm 3.7 supports types "__int128" and "unsigned __int128" for virtually all 64bit architectures including bpf. The requirement for __int128 support comes from two areas: . bpf program may use __int128. For example, some bcc tools (https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/tree/master/tools), mostly tcp v6 related, tcpstates.py, tcpaccept.py, etc., are using __int128 to represent the ipv6 addresses. . linux itself is using __int128 types. Hence supporting __int128 type in BTF is required for vmlinux BTF, which will be used by "compile once and run everywhere" and other projects. For 128bit integer, instead of base-10, hex numbers are pretty printed out as large decimal number is hard to decipher, e.g., for ipv6 addresses.
