[PATCH] D68822: [BPF] Support external globals

[Andrii Nakryiko via Phabricator via llvm-commits]

anakryiko added a comment.

if there is no type information available for extern variables, there is little benefit in having them as DATASEC+VAR. No size, no type. We can get the same information from ELF itself without having to teach verifier and libbpf how to handle these new types. Let's drop this for now? The only potential benefit is having a section name associated with extern, but we can either add that later, or even add it in a way that will require no verifier changes - BTF.ext.
