A bunch of BPF maps do not support specifying BTF types for key and value. This is non-uniform and inconvenient[0]. Currently, libbpf uses a retry logic which removes BTF type IDs when BPF map creation failed. Instead of retrying, this commit recognizes those specialized maps and removes BTF type IDs when creating BPF map.

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.
