Subject: Re: [PATCH] libbpf: add specific btf name info when do core

Hi, Nakryiko, thank you for your reply. I try to familiarize with core 
in libbpf， the debug info is really helpful for me. But i use the old 
kernel btf, so origion debuginfo like:
  struct task_struct___x: found target candidate [130] struct 
task_struct in [vmlinux]
I think it may be more clear, if we print btf name when we use old 
kernel btf like:
  struct task_struct___x: found target candidate [130] struct 
task_struct in [/boot/***.btf]
The patch just solve debug info show for newbies above.
