mainlining shenanigans
If BTF data is missing or removed from the ELF section it is still exported
via sysfs as a zero-length file:
root@OpenWrt:/# ls -l /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jul 18 02:59 /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux
Moreover, reads from this file succeed and leak kernel data:
root@OpenWrt:/# hexdump -C /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux|head -10

This situation was first observed with kernel 5.4.x, cross-compiled for a
MIPS target system. Fix by adding a sanity-check for export of zero-length
data sections.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
