Mystery upon mystery.
Here is a continuation of the last one.
This is raw BTF for .ko:
[509] STRUCT 'task_struct' size=10496 vlen=268
...
'rt_priority' type_id=3 bits_offset=960
...
And this is raw BTF for vmlinux:
[1] INT 'long unsigned int' size=8 bits_offset=0 nr_bits=64 encoding=(none)
[2] CONST '(anon)' type_id=1
[3] VOLATILE '(anon)' type_id=2
...
[9] INT 'unsigned int' size=4 bits_offset=0 nr_bits=32 encoding=(none)
...
[111] STRUCT 'task_struct' size=10496 vlen=268
...
'rt_priority' type_id=9 bits_offset=960
...
Note type conflict 'volatile const long' vs 'unsigned int'.
Either something is very broken or I completely messed up the build.
