thanks, but version 1.30 didn't work in my tests - even pahole's master branch fails, only the next branch works...
It seems that the 'old' pahole parses some kfuncs incorrectly, for example bpf_dynptr_slice().
./tools/sbin/bpftool btf dump file ../../../../vmlinux | grep bpf_dynptr_slice -A 2
'KF_bpf_dynptr_slice' val=23
'KF_bpf_dynptr_slice_rdwr' val=24
'KF_bpf_dynptr_clone' val=25
'KF_bpf_percpu_obj_new_impl' val=26
