This patch does the followings: 1. Limit BTF_MAX_TYPES and BTF_MAX_NAME_OFFSET to 64k. We can raise it later. 2. Remove the BTF_TYPE_PARENT and BTF_STR_TBL_ELF_ID. They are currently encoded at the highest bit of a u32. It is because the current use case does not require supporting parent type (i.e type_id referring to a type in another BTF file). It also does not support referring to a string in ELF. The BTF_TYPE_PARENT and BTF_STR_TBL_ELF_ID checks are replaced by BTF_TYPE_ID_CHECK and BTF_STR_OFFSET_CHECK which are defined in btf.c instead of uapi/linux/btf.h. 3. Limit the BTF_INFO_KIND from 5 bits to 4 bits which is enough. There is unused bits headroom if we ever needed it later. 4. The root bit in BTF_INFO is also removed because it is not used in the current use case. 5. Remove BTF_INT_VARARGS since func type is not supported now. The BTF_INT_ENCODING is limited to 4 bits instead of 8 bits. The above can be added back later because the verifier ensures the unused bits are zeros.

README
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.
