Sort bpftool c dump output; aiming to simplify vmlinux.h diffing and forcing more natural type definitions ordering. Definitions are sorted first by their BTF kind ranks, then by their base type name and by their own name. Type ranks Assign ranks to btf kinds (defined in function btf_type_rank) to set next order: 1. Anonymous enums/enums64 2. Named enums/enums64 3. Trivial types typedefs (ints, then floats) 4. Structs/Unions 5. Function prototypes 6. Forward declarations Type rank is set to maximum for unnamed reference types, structs and unions to avoid emitting those types early. They will be emitted as part of the type chain starting with named type. Lexicographical ordering Each type is assigned a sort_name and own_name. sort_name is the resolved name of the final base type for reference types (typedef, pointer, array etc). Sorting by sort_name allows to group typedefs of the same base type. sort_name for non-reference type is the same as own_name. own_name is a direct name of particular type, is used as final sorting step.
