<content type='text'>
Introduce new netlink attribute NETDEV_A_DEV_XDP_ZC_MAX_SEGS that will
carry maximum fragments that underlying ZC driver is able to handle on
TX side. It is going to be included in netlink response only when driver
supports ZC. Any value higher than 1 implies multi-buffer ZC support on
underlying device.

<title>libbpf: Fix bpf_xdp_query() in old kernels</title>

<content type='text'>
Commit 04d58f1b26a4("libbpf: add API to get XDP/XSK supported features")
added feature_flags to struct bpf_xdp_query_opts. If a user uses
bpf_xdp_query_opts with feature_flags member, the bpf_xdp_query()
will check whether 'netdev' family exists or not in the kernel.
If it does not exist, the bpf_xdp_query() will return -ENOENT.

But 'netdev' family does not exist in old kernels as it is
introduced in the same patch set as Commit 04d58f1b26a4.
So old kernel with newer libbpf won't work properly with
bpf_xdp_query() api call.

To fix this issue, if the return value of
libbpf_netlink_resolve_genl_family_id() is -ENOENT, bpf_xdp_query()
will just return 0, skipping the rest of xdp feature query.
This preserves backward compatibility.

<title>libbpf: Streamline bpf_attr and perf_event_attr initialization</title>

Make sure that entire libbpf code base is initializing bpf_attr and
perf_event_attr with memset(0). Also for bpf_attr make sure we
clear and pass to kernel only relevant parts of bpf_attr. bpf_attr is
a huge union of independent sub-command attributes, so there is no need
to clear and pass entire union bpf_attr, which over time grows quite
a lot and for most commands this growth is completely irrelevant.

Few cases where we were relying on compiler initialization of BPF UAPI
structs (like bpf_prog_info, bpf_map_info, etc) with `= {};` were
switched to memset(0) pattern for future-proofing.

<content type='text'>
When receiving netlink messages, libbpf was using a statically allocated
stack buffer of 4k bytes. This happened to work fine on systems with a 4k
page size, but on systems with larger page sizes it can lead to truncated
messages. The user-visible impact of this was that libbpf would insist no
XDP program was attached to some interfaces because that bit of the netlink
message got chopped off.

Fix this by switching to a dynamically allocated buffer; we borrow the
approach from iproute2 of using recvmsg() with MSG_PEEK|MSG_TRUNC to get
the actual size of the pending message before receiving it, adjusting the
buffer as necessary. While we're at it, also add retries on interrupted
system calls around the recvmsg() call.

v2:
  - Move peek logic to libbpf_netlink_recv(), don't double free on ENOMEM.
