Ah, my stupid.

The only references to this function from kernel space are:
    $ grep -r bpf_kfunc_call_test_release
    net/bpf/test_run.c:noinline void bpf_kfunc_call_test_release(struct prog_test_ref_kfunc *p)
    net/bpf/test_run.c:BTF_ID_FLAGS(func, bpf_kfunc_call_test_release, KF_RELEASE)
    net/bpf/test_run.c:BTF_ID(func, bpf_kfunc_call_test_release)

Macro BTF_ID_... puts the function names to .BTF_ids section. It looks
like:
__BTF_ID__func__bpf_kfunc_call_test_release__692

When running, it uses kallsyms_lookup_name() to find the function
address via names in .BTF_ids section.


Hi jirka,
Please kindly correct me if my understanding of BTF_ids is wrong.
