I've had to drop the test in manyprogs.c since the file is only used from benchmarks. I tried to come up with a way to test this in CI, but it's not straight forward :( I also updated your first commit to include the useful PR description. Unrelated to this, I want to make sure that the new semantics actually make sense.

In kernels where the flag CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF_MODULES is not set, including kernels 5.10 and below (because the flag was introduced in 5.11), loading a program that attaches to kernel module functions and relied on CORE failed because the module's BTF is not available. This fix allows the program to run, obviously only as long as it only relies on the kernel's BTF and not on the specific module's BTF. Fixes: cilium#1436 Signed-off-by: Ori Shussman <[email protected]>

Fixes: #1436. Tested on the same example included in the issue: when using the fixed package, the program attaches successfully.
