Andrii Nakryiko 651337c7ca bpftool: Allow compile-time checks of BPF map auto-attach support in skeleton
New versions of bpftool now emit additional link placeholders for BPF
maps (struct_ops maps are the only maps right now that support
attachment), and set up BPF skeleton in such a way that libbpf will
auto-attach BPF maps automatically, assumming libbpf is recent enough
(v1.5+). Old libbpf will do nothing with those links and won't attempt
to auto-attach maps. This allows user code to handle both pre-v1.5 and
v1.5+ versions of libbpf at runtime, if necessary.

But if users don't have (or don't want to) control bpftool version that
generates skeleton, then they can't just assume that skeleton will have
link placeholders. To make this detection possible and easy, let's add
the following to generated skeleton header file:

  #define BPF_SKEL_SUPPORTS_MAP_AUTO_ATTACH 1

This can be used during compilation time to guard code that accesses
skel->links.<map> slots.

Note, if auto-attachment is undesirable, libbpf allows to disable this
through bpf_map__set_autoattach(map, false). This is necessary only on
libbpf v1.5+, older libbpf doesn't support map auto-attach anyways.

Libbpf version can be detected at compilation time using
LIBBPF_MAJOR_VERSION and LIBBPF_MINOR_VERSION macros, or at runtime with
libbpf_major_version() and libbpf_minor_version() APIs.

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 reStructuredText 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.
