This is a known issue for pahole. pahole does not handle dwarf well 
generated with LTO. Bill Wendling from google is looking at the issue 
and I will help look at the issue as well. Since bpf heavily depends
on BTF, at this point, I suggest if you are using bpf, please do not
turn on LTO. Or if you build with LTO, just turn off DEBUG_INFO_BTF
in your config. Thanks!
