It would be useful to parse SEC() definitions for BPF programs in C source code as used in the Linux kernel and programs running in the kernel.

SEC sections in C source code such as https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/3a8a670eeeaa40d87bd38a587438952741980c18/samples/bpf/tracex7_kern.c#L6C1-L6C25 contain structured data that are further ending in a compiled ELF section and in compiled "BPF" code (in the .BTF section.)

Some examples include "license", "version" and related information similar to what we can collect using MODULE_XXX macros or their output inlined in compiled kernel ELFs (See for instance simple regexes in https://github.com/nexB/scancode-plugins/blob/4df0cf04e1b7b6774ba6e983c7c57002f19327c9/binary-analysis/scancode-compiledcode/src/compiledcode/sourcecode/kernel.py )

There should be some example in this package:

and the SEC calls in the corresponding source code https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Axdp-project%2Fxdp-tools+"SEC("&type=code

This issue is to collect the source code side of the SEC sections
