Hi Arnaldo,

Just a few datapoints:

My build machine (Debian Testing PowerpcLE, not quite the latest
kernel):

$ ls -l /usr/sbin/bpftool

$ uname -a
Linux zz1 6.0.0-5-powerpc64le #1 SMP Debian 6.0.10-2 (2022-12-01) ppc64le GNU/Linux
$ ls -l /sys/kernel/bpf/
ls: cannot access '/sys/kernel/bpf/': No such file or directory
$ grep CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF /boot/config-6.0.0-5-powerpc64le
# CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF is not set

And in the latest powerpc64le kernel:

$ grep CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF /boot/config-6.1.0-5-powerpc64le
# CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF is not set

Debian Testing arm64, not quite the latest kernel:

$ uname -a
Linux oak 6.1.0-5-arm64 #1 SMP Debian 6.1.12-1 (2023-02-15) aarch64 GNU/Linux
$ ls -l /sys/kernel/bpf/
ls: cannot access '/sys/kernel/bpf/': No such file or directory
$ grep CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF /boot/config-6.1.0-5-arm64
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF_MODULES=y

Debian Testing amd64, the latest kernel:

$ uname -a
Linux pine 6.1.0-6-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.15-1 (2023-03-05) x86_64 GNU/Linux
$ ls -l /sys/kernel/bpf/
ls: cannot access '/sys/kernel/bpf/': No such file or directory
$ grep CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF /boot/config-6.1.0-6-amd64
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF_MODULES=y

Debian Stable amd64, the latest kernel:

$ uname -a
Linux gimli 5.10.0-21-cloud-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.162-1 (2023-01-21) x86_64 GNU/Linux
$ ls -l /sys/kernel/bpf/
ls: cannot access '/sys/kernel/bpf/': No such file or directory
$ grep CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF /boot/config-5.10.0-21-cloud-amd64
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y
