Recently issues were observed with module BTF deduplication failures
[1]. Add a dedup selftest that ensures that core kernel types are
referenced from split BTF as base BTF types. To do this use bpf_testmod
functions which utilize core kernel types, specifically
ssize_t
bpf_testmod_test_write(struct file *file, struct kobject *kobj,
struct bin_attribute *bin_attr,
char *buf, loff_t off, size_t len);
__bpf_kfunc struct sock *bpf_kfunc_call_test3(struct sock *sk);
__bpf_kfunc void bpf_kfunc_call_test_pass_ctx(struct __sk_buff *skb);
For each of these ensure that the types they reference -
struct file, struct kobject, struct bin_attr etc - are in base BTF.
Note that because bpf_testmod.ko is built with distilled base BTF
the associated reference types - i.e. the PTR that points at a
"struct file" - will be in split BTF. As a result the test resolves
typedef and pointer references and verifies the pointed-at or
typedef'ed type is in base BTF. Because we use BTF from
/sys/kernel/btf/bpf_testmod relocation has occurred for the
referenced types and they will be base - not distilled base - types.
For large-scale dedup issues, we see such types appear in split BTF and
as a result this test fails. Hence it is proposed as a test which will
fail when large-scale dedup issues have occurred.

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 reStructuredText 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.
