I was about to suggest to rename these to use the same name as used in
the kernel btf.h. What is used there is:
BTF_VAR_STATIC = 0,
BTF_VAR_GLOBAL_ALLOCATED = 1,
BTF_VAR_GLOBAL_EXTERN = 2,
But after looking at the Patch 3/3, I see you reuse these definitions
for functions as well. I just find the names confusing on the first look
- "BTF_LINKAGE_STATIC".
Naming aside, what do you think about adding the defines to
include/btf.h instead ?
Actually, I forgot these are defined (separately for both VARs and FUNCs)
in the kernel uapi/linux/btf.h. It would probably be best to mirror that
approach and use a separate enum for each, in include/btf.h. WDYT?
Yes, mirroring in include/btf.h sounds good.

This made me think about the following case.
extern const char a[];
const char a[] = "foo";
What is the expected BTF for this? Since BTF can differentiate between
the non-defining extern variable declaration, I expected to see two
variables with different "linkage". At this time I see, two variables
with global linkage but different types:
.long 0xe000000 # btv_info
.long 0x4 # btv_type
.long 0x1 # btv_linkage
.long 0x1f # btv_name
.long 0xe000000 # btv_info
.long 0x7 # btv_type
.long 0x1 # btv_linkage
.long 0x60 # btt_name
The BTF documentation in the kernel does not clarify this case.
Going off the implementation in clang as a reference, it looks like
only one VAR record is expected, with 'global' linkage:
$ cat extdef.c
extern const char a[];
const char a[] = "foo";
$ clang -target bpf -c -g extdef.c -o extdef.o
$ /usr/sbin/bpftool btf dump file extdef.o
[1] CONST '(anon)' type_id=2
[2] INT 'char' size=1 bits_offset=0 nr_bits=8 encoding=SIGNED
[3] ARRAY '(anon)' type_id=1 index_type_id=4 nr_elems=4
[4] INT '__ARRAY_SIZE_TYPE__' size=4 bits_offset=0 nr_bits=32 encoding=(none)
[5] VAR 'a' type_id=3, linkage=global
[6] DATASEC '.rodata' size=0 vlen=1
type_id=5 offset=0 size=4 (VAR 'a')
In GCC we have two records since we have two DIEs for "a" in the
DWARF. One has type "const char[4]" and the other has type
"const char[]", so the BTF records point to two different types
as well.
I guess we should find a way in BTF to identify this and
emit only the defining definition as clang does.
CTF had a similar issue earlier. See PR105089.
