Hi Quentin,

Thank you for this patch, sorry for the delay reviewing it.
Could you please also add a few tests in
tools/testing/selftests/bpf/prog_tests/btf_dump.c ?

Would it make sense to use isprint_l() and specify something like C locale?

Note: this would have to deal with escape sequences,
otherwise strings containing '\' would be printed incorrectly.
