* tools/libbpf: support bigger BTF data sizes While it's understandable why kernel limits number of BTF types to 65535 and size of string section to 64KB, in libbpf as user-space library it's too restrictive. E.g., pahole converting DWARF to BTF type information for Linux kernel generates more than 3 million BTF types and more than 3MB of strings, before deduplication. So to allow btf__dedup() to do its work, we need to be able to load bigger BTF sections using btf__new().

This is a mirror of bpf-next linux tree (https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bpf/bpf-next) bpf-next/tools/lib/bpf directory plus its supporting header files. The following files will by sync'ed with bpf-next repo: src/ <-> bpf-next/tools/lib/bpf/ include/uapi/linux/bpf_common.h <-> bpf-next/tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf_common.h include/uapi/linux/bpf.h <-> bpf-next/tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h include/uapi/linux/btf.h <-> bpf-next/tools/include/uapi/linux/btf.h include/uapi/linux/if_link.h <-> bpf-next/tools/include/uapi/linux/if_link.h include/uapi/linux/netlink.h <-> bpf-next/tools/include/uapi/linux/netlink.h include/tools/libc_compat.h <-> bpf-next/tools/include/tools/libc_compat.h Other header files at this repo (include/linux/*.h) are reduced versions of their counterpart files at bpf-next/tools/include/linux/*.h to make compilation successful.
