Description:

The CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF config option will include type information in BTF format into the kernel image, which makes it possible to run BPF-based utilities that rely on the Compile-Once Run-Everywhere mechanism of the BPF subsystem (see [0]).

Please consider enabling this config option in the default Arch kernel builds, as that would make such utilities work out of the box on Arch.
