Commit Message

Make data section layout checks stricter, disallowing overlap of types and
strings data.

Additionally, allow BTFs with no type data. There is nothing inherently wrong
with having BTF with no types (put potentially with some strings). This could
be a situation with kernel module BTFs, if module doesn't introduce any new
type information.

Also fix invalid offset alignment check for btf->hdr->type_off.

Fixes: 8a138aed4a80 ("bpf: btf: Add BTF support to libbpf")

Can we make this one as 
	if (meta_left != hdr->str_off + hdr->str_len) {

And this one 
	if (hdr->type_off + hdr->type_len != hdr->str_off) {

?

That would be not forward-compatible. I.e., old libbpf loading new BTF
with extra stuff after the string section. Kernel is necessarily more
strict, but I'd like to keep libbpf more permissive with this.

Similarly, libbpf could be a bit more permissive here without
sacrificing correctness (at least for read-only BTF, when rewriting
BTF extra data will be discarded, of course).

Yeah, this makes sense. Let's keep both checks AS-IS.
