Quentin Monnet 4567b983f7 tools: bpftool: add probes for kernel configuration options
Add probes to dump a number of options set (or not set) for compiling
the kernel image. These parameters provide information about what BPF
components should be available on the system. A number of them are not
directly related to eBPF, but are in fact used in the kernel as
conditions on which to compile, or not to compile, some of the eBPF
helper functions.

Sample output:

    # bpftool feature probe kernel
    Scanning system configuration...
    ...
    CONFIG_BPF is set to y
    CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL is set to y
    CONFIG_HAVE_EBPF_JIT is set to y
    ...

    # bpftool --pretty --json feature probe kernel
    {
        "system_config": {
            ...
            "CONFIG_BPF": "y",
            "CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL": "y",
            "CONFIG_HAVE_EBPF_JIT": "y",
            ...
        }
    }

v5:
- Declare options[] array in probe_kernel_image_config() as static.

v4:
- Add some options to the list:
    - CONFIG_TRACING
    - CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENTS
    - CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENTS
    - CONFIG_FTRACE_SYSCALLS
- Add comments about those options in the source code.

v3:
- Add a comment about /proc/config.gz not being supported as a path for
  the config file at this time.
- Use p_info() instead of p_err() on failure to get options from config
  file, as bpftool keeps probing other parameters and that would
  possibly create duplicate "error" entries for JSON.

v2:
- Remove C-style macros output from this patch.
- NOT addressed: grouping of those config options into subsections
  (I don't see an easy way of grouping them at the moment, please see
  also the discussion on v1 thread).

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
