[PATCH 0/2] bpftool: Refactor config parsing and add CET symbol matching
From: chenyuan_fl

From: Yuan CHen <chenyuan@xxxxxxxxxx>
1. **Refactor kernel config parsing**
- Moves duplicate config file handling from feature.c to common.c
- Keeps all existing functionality while enabling code reuse
2. **Add CET-aware symbol matching**
- Adjusts kprobe hook detection for x86_64 CET (endbr32/64 prefixes)
- Matches symbols at both original and CET-adjusted addresses
Changed in PATCH v4:
* Refactor repeated code into a function.
* Add detection for the x86 architecture.
Changed int PATH v5:
* Remove detection for the x86 architecture.
Changed in PATCH v6:
* Add new helper patch (1/2) to refactor kernel config reading
* Use the new read_kernel_config() in CET symbol matching (2/2) to check CONFIG_X86_KERNEL_IBT
