We have switched to memcg-based memory accouting and thus the rlimit is
not needed any more. LIBBPF_STRICT_AUTO_RLIMIT_MEMLOCK was introduced in
libbpf for backward compatibility, so we can use it instead now.

libbpf_set_strict_mode always return 0, so we don't need to check whether
the return value is 0 or not.

Newer GCC complains about capturing the address of unitialized variable.
While there is nothing wrong with the code (the variable is filled out

<title>bpftool: Adding support for BTF program names</title>

`bpftool prog list` and other bpftool subcommands that show
BPF program names currently get them from bpf_prog_info.name.
That field is limited to 16 (BPF_OBJ_NAME_LEN) chars which leads
to truncated names since many progs have much longer names.

The idea of this change is to improve all bpftool commands that
output prog name so that bpftool uses info from BTF to print
program names if available.

It tries bpf_prog_info.name first and fall back to btf only if
the name is suspected to be truncated (has 15 chars length).

Right now `bpftool p show id &lt;id&gt;` returns capped prog name

&lt;id&gt;: kprobe  name example_cap_cap  tag 712e...
...

With this change it would return

&lt;id&gt;: kprobe  name example_cap_capable  tag 712e...
...

Note, other commands that print prog names (e.g. "bpftool
cgroup tree") are also addressed in this change.

To support the different BPF map or attach types, bpftool must remain
up-to-date with the types supported by the kernel. Let's update the
lists, by adding the missing Bloom filter map type and the perf_event
attach type.

Both missing items were found with test_bpftool_synctypes.py.

<title>bpftool: Switch to libbpf's hashmap for pinned paths of BPF objects</title>

<id>8f184732b60b74a8f8ba0d9a5c248bf611b1ebba</id>
<content type='text'>
In order to show pinned paths for BPF programs, maps, or links when
listing them with the "-f" option, bpftool creates hash maps to store
all relevant paths under the bpffs. So far, it would rely on the
kernel implementation (from tools/include/linux/hashtable.h).

We can make bpftool rely on libbpf's implementation instead. The
motivation is to make bpftool less dependent of kernel headers, to ease
the path to a potential out-of-tree mirror, like libbpf has.

This commit is the first step of the conversion: the hash maps for
pinned paths for programs, maps, and links are converted to libbpf's
hashmap.{c,h}. Other hash maps used for the PIDs of process holding
references to BPF objects are left unchanged for now. On the build side,
this requires adding a dependency to a second header internal to libbpf,
and making it a dependency for the bootstrap bpftool version as well.
The rest of the changes are a rather straightforward conversion.

Reusing BPF_SK_SKB_STREAM_VERDICT is possible but its name is
confusing and more importantly we still want to distinguish them
from user-space. So we can just reuse the stream verdict code but
introduce a new type of eBPF program, skb_verdict. Users are not
allowed to attach stream_verdict and skb_verdict programs to the
same map.
