Inclusion of the header linux/btf_ids.h relies on indirect inclusion of
the header linux/types.h. Including it directly on the top level helps
to avoid potential problems if linux/types.h hasn't been included
before.
The main motivation to introduce this it is to avoid similar problems that
have shown up in the bpftool where GNU libc indirectly pulls
linux/types.h causing compile error of the form:
error: unknown type name 'u32'
u32 cnt;
^~~
The bpftool compile error was fixed in
62248b22d0 ("tools/resolve_btfids: fix build with musl libc").

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
