This patch adds BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_FD support to BTF fd. The original BTF data, which was used to create the BTF fd during the earlier BPF_BTF_LOAD call, will be returned. The userspace is expected to allocate buffer to info.info and the buffer size is set to info.info_len before calling BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_FD. The original BTF data is copied to the userspace buffer (info.info). Only upto the user's specified info.info_len will be copied. The original BTF data size is set to info.info_len. The userspace needs to check if it is bigger than its allocated buffer size. If it is, the userspace should realloc with the kernel-returned info.info_len and call the BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_FD again.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
