This patch set's main goal is to teach bpf_object__open() (and its variants)
to automatically derive BPF program type/expected attach type from section
names, similarly to how bpf_prog_load() was doing it. This significantly
improves user experience by eliminating yet another
obvious-only-in-the-hindsight surprise, when using libbpf APIs.
There are a bunch of auxiliary clean-ups and improvements. E.g.,
bpf_program__get_type() and bpf_program__get_expected_attach_type() are added
for completeness and symmetry with corresponding setter APIs. Some clean up
and fixes in selftests/bpf are done as well.
Andrii Nakryiko (7):
tools: sync if_link.h
libbpf: add bpf_program__get_{type, expected_attach_type) APIs
libbpf: add uprobe/uretprobe and tp/raw_tp section suffixes
libbpf: teach bpf_object__open to guess program types
selftests/bpf: make a copy of subtest name
selftests/bpf: make reference_tracking test use subtests
selftest/bpf: get rid of a bunch of explicit BPF program type setting
