libbpf: Fix native endian assumption when parsing BTF
Code in btf__parse_raw() fails to detect raw BTF of non-native endianness
and assumes it must be ELF data, which then fails to parse as ELF and
yields a misleading error message:
root:/# bpftool btf dump file /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux
libbpf: failed to get EHDR from /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux
For example, this could occur after cross-compiling a BTF-enabled kernel
for a target with non-native endianness, which is currently unsupported.
Check for correct endianness and emit a clearer error message:
root:/# bpftool btf dump file /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux
libbpf: non-native BTF endianness is not supported
Fixes: 94a1fedd63ed ("libbpf: Add btf__parse_raw() and generic btf__parse() APIs")
