Add APIs for appending new BTF types at the end of BTF object. Each BTF kind has either one API of the form btf__add_<kind>(). For types that have variable amount of additional items (struct/union, enum, func_proto, datasec), additional API is provided to emit each such item. E.g., for emitting a struct, one would use the following sequence of API calls: btf__add_struct(...); btf__add_field(...); ... btf__add_field(...); Each btf__add_field() will ensure that the last BTF type is of STRUCT or UNION kind and will automatically increment that type's vlen field. All the strings are provided as C strings (const char *), not a string offset. This significantly improves usability of BTF writer APIs. All such strings will be automatically appended to string section or existing string will be re-used, if such string was already added previously. Each API attempts to do all the reasonable validations, like enforcing non-empty names for entities with required names, proper value bounds, various bit offset restrictions, etc. Type ID validation is minimal because it's possible to emit a type that refers to type that will be emitted later, so libbpf has no way to enforce such cases. User must be careful to properly emit all the necessary types and specify type IDs that will be valid in the finally generated BTF. Each of btf__add_<kind>() APIs return new type ID on success or negative value on error. APIs like btf__add_field() that emit additional items return zero on success and negative value on error.

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.
