I'm missing some high-level concept on how this would be used? Where does btf_fd come
from and how is it used so that it doesn't break sig-check?
A use-case I'm trying to fit into this series is how to pass down a BTF fd/object
with the program. I know its not doing CO-RE yet but we would want it to use the
BTF object being passed down for CO-RE eventually. Will there be someway to do
that here? That looks like the btf_fd here.
Thanks,
John
