When emitting type declarations in skeletons, bpftool will now also emit static assertions on the size of the data/bss/rodata/etc fields. This ensures that in situations where userspace and kernel types have the same name but differ in size we do not silently produce incorrect results but instead break the build. This was reported in [1] and as expected the repro in [2] fails to build on the new size assert after this change.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
