From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>

If the BTF code is enabled in the build configuration, the start/stop
BTF markers are guaranteed to exist in the final link but not during the
first linker pass.

Avoid GOT based relocations to these markers in the final executable by
providing preliminary definitions that will be used by the first linker
pass, and superseded by the actual definitions in the subsequent ones.

Make the preliminary definitions dependent on CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF so
that inadvertent references to this section will trigger a link failure
if they occur in code that does not honour CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF.

Note that Clang will notice that taking the address of__start_BTF cannot
yield NULL any longer, so testing for that condition is no longer
needed.

hi,
I'm getting following compilation fail when CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF is disabled

	[jolsa@krava linux-qemu]$ make 
	  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
	  DESCEND objtool
	  INSTALL libsubcmd_headers
	  UPD     include/generated/utsversion.h
	  CC      init/version-timestamp.o
	  LD      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1
	ld: kernel/bpf/btf.o: in function `btf_parse_vmlinux':
	/home/jolsa/kernel/linux-qemu/kernel/bpf/btf.c:5988: undefined reference to `__start_BTF'
	ld: /home/jolsa/kernel/linux-qemu/kernel/bpf/btf.c:5989: undefined reference to `__stop_BTF'
	ld: /home/jolsa/kernel/linux-qemu/kernel/bpf/btf.c:5989: undefined reference to `__start_BTF'
	make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.vmlinux:37: vmlinux] Error 1
	make[1]: *** [/home/jolsa/kernel/linux-qemu/Makefile:1160: vmlinux] Error 2
	make: *** [Makefile:240: __sub-make] Error 2

maybe the assumption was that kernel/bpf/btf.o is compiled only
for CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF, but it's actually:

  obj-$(CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL) += btf.o memalloc.o

I guess we just need !CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF version of btf_parse_vmlinux
function

Interesting. I did build test this with and without
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF, but not with CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL=y and
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=n.

The below gives me a working build.
