<title>libbpf: relicense libbpf as LGPL-2.1 OR BSD-2-Clause</title>

<content type='text'>
libbpf is maturing as a library and gaining features that no other bpf libraries support
(BPF Type Format, bpf to bpf calls, etc)
Many Apache2 licensed projects (like bcc, bpftrace, gobpf, cilium, etc)
would like to use libbpf, but cannot do this yet, since Apache Foundation explicitly
states that LGPL is incompatible with Apache2.
Hence let's relicense libbpf as dual license LGPL-2.1 or BSD-2-Clause,
since BSD-2 is compatible with Apache2.
Dual LGPL or Apache2 is invalid combination.
Fix license mistake in Makefile as well.

commit 38d5d3b3d5db ("bpf: Introduce BPF_ANNOTATE_KV_PAIR")

added to the bpf and net trees what

commit 92b57121ca79 ("bpf: btf: export btf types and name by offset from lib")

has already added to bpf-next/net-next, but in slightly different
location.  Remove the duplicates (to fix build of libbpf).

The BTF conflicts were simple overlapping changes.

The virtio_net conflict was an overlap of a fix of statistics counter,
happening alongisde a move over to a bonafide statistics structure
rather than counting value on the stack.

This patch introduces BPF_ANNOTATE_KV_PAIR to signal the
bpf loader about the btf key_type and value_type of a bpf map.
Please refer to the changes in test_btf_haskv.c for its usage.
Both iproute2 and libbpf loader will then have the same
convention to find out the map's btf_key_type_id and
btf_value_type_id from a map's name.

This patch introduces btf__resolve_type() function and exports two
existing functions from libbpf. btf__resolve_type follows modifier
types like const and typedef until it hits a type which actually takes
up memory, and then returns it. This function follows similar pattern
to btf__resolve_size but instead of computing size, it just returns
the type.

These  functions will be used in the followig patch which parses
information inside array of `struct btf_type *`. btf_name_by_offset is
used for printing variable names.

2. Add test for the btf_header changes
3. Add tests for array-&gt;index_type
4. Add err_str check to the tests
5. Fix a 4 bytes hole in "struct test #1" by swapping "m" and "n"
