Subject: [PATCH bpf 2/2] libbpf: allow loading empty BTFs
Date: Sat, 9 Jan 2021 23:03:41 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210110070341.1380086-2-andrii@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210110070341.1380086-1-andrii@kernel.org>

Empty BTFs do come up (e.g., simple kernel modules with no new types and
strings, compared to the vmlinux BTF) and there is nothing technically wrong
with them. So remove unnecessary check preventing loading empty BTFs.

Reported-by: Christopher William Snowhill <chris@kode54.net>
Fixes: ("d8123624506c libbpf: Fix BTF data layout checks and allow empty BTF")
Signed-off-by: Andrii Nakryiko <andrii@kernel.org>
