>> Thanks for quickly merging this. I now need to plumb this thru on the kernel side to essentially enable CONFIG_PAHOLE_HAS_BTF_TAG for gcc but that would need to be keyed off of a pahole release version. Is pahole due for a release (cadence and/or this changeset). If not I can speculative use the next version whenever that happens. There are other things in flight as well (gcc fix after 16.1) so this is not super urgent but will be good to get out of the way.

Yeah this seems reasonable.
