Hash maps used to have no ->map_check_btf,\nso a key-less BTF was rejected outright.\n\nThat changed when htab and rhtab gained a ->map_check_btf to register a\ndtor - htab in commit 1df97a7453ee (\"bpf: Register dtor for freeing\nspecial fields\") and rhtab in commit 6905f8601298 (\"bpf: Allow special\nfields in resizable hashtab\"). Neither looks at the key, so a key-less\nhash map now passes map_check_btf() and gets created. Reading it back\nthrough bpffs feeds the key type_id 0 into btf_type_seq_show();\nbtf_type_by_id() returns the void type, kind_ops[BTF_KIND_UNKN] is NULL,\nand btf_type_show() dereferences it:\n\nRIP:
