The need to increase RLIMIT_MEMLOCK to do anything useful with BPF is one of the first extremely frustrating gotchas that all new BPF users go through and in some cases have to learn it a very hard way. Luckily, starting with upstream Linux kernel version 5.11, BPF subsystem dropped the dependency on memlock and uses memcg-based memory accounting instead. Unfortunately, detecting memcg-based BPF memory accounting is far from trivial (as can be evidenced by this patch), so in practice most BPF applications still do unconditional RLIMIT_MEMLOCK increase. As we move towards libbpf 1.0, it would be good to allow users to forget about RLIMIT_MEMLOCK vs memcg and let libbpf do the sensible adjustment automatically. This patch paves the way forward in this matter. Libbpf will do feature detection of memcg-based accounting, and if detected, will do nothing. But if the kernel is too old, just like BCC, libbpf will automatically increase RLIMIT_MEMLOCK on behalf of user application ([0]). As this is technically a breaking change, during the transition period applications have to opt into libbpf 1.0 mode by setting LIBBPF_STRICT_AUTO_RLIMIT_MEMLOCK bit when calling libbpf_set_strict_mode(). Libbpf allows to control the exact amount of set RLIMIT_MEMLOCK limit with libbpf_set_memlock_rlim_max() API. Passing 0 will make libbpf do nothing with RLIMIT_MEMLOCK. libbpf_set_memlock_rlim_max() has to be called before the first bpf_prog_load(), bpf_btf_load(), or bpf_object__load() call, otherwise it has no effect and will return -EBUSY.
