libbpf: Fix native endian assumption when parsing BTF
Code in btf__parse_raw() fails to detect raw BTF of non-native endianness and assumes it must be ELF data, which then fails to parse as ELF and yields a misleading error message: root:/# bpftool btf dump file /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux libbpf: failed to get EHDR from /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux For example, this could occur after cross-compiling a BTF-enabled kernel for a target with non-native endianness, which is currently unsupported. Check for correct endianness and emit a clearer error message: root:/# bpftool btf dump file /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux libbpf: non-native BTF endianness is not supported Fixes: 94a1fedd ("libbpf: Add btf__parse_raw() and generic btf__parse() APIs") Signed-off-by:Tony Ambardar <Tony.Ambardar@gmail.com> Signed-off-by:
