[bpf-next,v5,17/17] docs/bpf: Update documentation for BTF_KIND_ENUM64 support

Commit Message

Yonghong Song June 7, 2022, 6:27 a.m. UTC

Add BTF_KIND_ENUM64 documentation in btf.rst.
Also fixed a typo for section number for BTF_KIND_TYPE_TAG
from 2.2.17 to 2.2.18, and fixed a type size issue for
BTF_KIND_ENUM.
