Load global data maps lazily, if kernel is too old to support global
data. Make sure that programs are still correct by detecting if any of
the to-be-loaded programs have relocation against any of such maps.
This allows to solve the issue ([0]) with bpf_printk() and Clang
generating unnecessary and unreferenced .rodata.strX.Y sections, but it
also goes further along the CO-RE lines, allowing to have a BPF object
in which some code can work on very old kernels and relies only on BPF
maps explicitly, while other BPF programs might enjoy global variable
support. If such programs are correctly set to not load at runtime on
old kernels, bpf_object will load and function correctly now.

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.
