When\nbtf_decl_tag_resolve() tries to check func type, it tries to get\nvlen of its func_proto type, which triggered the above kasan error.\n\nTo fix the issue, btf_decl_tag_resolve() needs to do btf_func_check()\nbefore trying to accessing func_proto type.\nIn the current implementation, func type is checked with\nbtf_func_check() in the main checking function btf_check_all_types().\nTo fix the above kasan issue, let us implement 'resolve' callback\nfunc type properly. The 'resolve' callback will be also called\nin btf_check_all_types() for func types."
