bpftool: btf: Support dumping a specific types from file
Some projects, for example xdp-tools [0], prefer to check in a minimized
vmlinux.h rather than the complete file which can get rather large.
However, when you try to add a minimized version of a complex struct (eg
struct xfrm_state), things can get quite complex if you're trying to
manually untangle and deduplicate the dependencies.
This commit teaches bpftool to do a minimized dump of a specific types by
providing a optional root_id argument(s).
Example usage:
$ ./bpftool btf dump file ~/dev/linux/vmlinux | rg "STRUCT 'xfrm_state'"
[12643] STRUCT 'xfrm_state' size=912 vlen=58
$ ./bpftool btf dump file ~/dev/linux/vmlinux root_id 12643 format c
#ifndef __VMLINUX_H__
#define __VMLINUX_H__
