thanks, but version 1.30 didn't work in my tests - even pahole's master branch 
fails, only the next branch works...


It seems that the 'old' pahole parses some kfuncs incorrectly, for example 
bpf_dynptr_slice().


./tools/sbin/bpftool btf dump file ../../../../vmlinux | grep bpf_dynptr_slice 
-A 2
        'KF_bpf_dynptr_slice' val=23
        'KF_bpf_dynptr_slice_rdwr' val=24
        'KF_bpf_dynptr_clone' val=25
        'KF_bpf_percpu_obj_new_impl' val=26
