bpf: btf: Change how section is supported in btf_header
There are currently unused section descriptions in the btf_header. Those
sections are here to support future BTF use cases. For example, the
func section (func_off) is to support function signature (e.g. the BPF
prog function signature).
Instead of spelling out all potential sections up-front in the btf_header.
This patch makes changes to btf_header such that extending it (e.g. adding
a section) is possible later. The unused ones can be removed for now and
they can be added back later.
This patch:
1. adds a hdr_len to the btf_header. It will allow adding
sections (and other info like parent_label and parent_name)
later. The check is similar to the existing bpf_attr.
If a user passes in a longer hdr_len, the kernel
ensures the extra tailing bytes are 0.
2. allows the section order in the BTF object to be
different from its sec_off order in btf_header.
3. each sec_off is followed by a sec_len. It must not have gap or
overlapping among sections.
The string section is ensured to be at the end due to the 4 bytes
alignment requirement of the type section.
The above changes will allow enough flexibility to
add new sections (and other info) to the btf_header later.
This patch also removes an unnecessary !err check
at the end of btf_parse().
