The btf_field_offs struct contains (offset, size) for btf_record fields,
sorted by offset. btf_field_offs is always used in conjunction with
btf_record, which has btf_field 'fields' array with (offset, type), the
latter of which btf_field_offs' size is derived from via
btf_field_type_size.
This patch adds a size field to struct btf_field and sorts btf_record's
fields by offset, making it possible to get rid of btf_field_offs. Less
data duplication and less code complexity results.
Since btf_field_offs' lifetime closely followed the btf_record used to
populate it, most complexity wins are from removal of initialization
code like:
if (btf_record_successfully_initialized) {
foffs = btf_parse_field_offs(rec);
if (IS_ERR_OR_NULL(foffs))
// free the btf_record and return err
}
Other changes in this patch are pretty mechanical:
* foffs->field_off[i] -> rec->fields[i].offset
* foffs->field_sz[i] -> rec->fields[i].size
* Sort rec->fields in btf_parse_fields before returning
* It's possible that this is necessary independently of other
changes in this patch. btf_record_find in syscall.c expects
btf_record's fields to be sorted by offset, yet there's no
explicit sorting of them before this patch, record's fields are
populated in the order they're read from BTF struct definition.
BTF docs don't say anything about the sortedness of struct fields.
* All functions taking struct btf_field_offs * input now instead take
struct btf_record *. All callsites of these functions already have
access to the correct btf_record.

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.
