Changelog:
   v3 -> v4:
     - in bpf_seq_read(), if start() failed with an error, return that
       error to user space (Andrii)
     - in bpf_seq_printf(), if reading kernel memory failed for
       %s and %p{i,I}{4,6}, set buffer to empty string or address 0.
       Documented this behavior in uapi header (Andrii)
     - fix a few error handling issues for bpftool (Andrii)
     - A few other minor fixes and cosmetic changes.

Looks great overall. Applied.
But few follow ups are necessary.

The main gotcha is that new tests need llvm with the fix
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__reviews.llvm.org_D78466&d=DwIBAg&c=5VD0RTtNlTh3ycd41b3MUw&r=DA8e1B5r073vIqRrFz7MRA&m=bCI_s36swhyaNaGGr3YQ0eQH9Lc-hpSGQy3u9fCRL9A&s=FLMd73HYbmZPnZrtCE9ntzg9e9eHOCioQbrt1w4sgWU&e= .
I think it was applied to llvm 10 branch already,
but please add selftests/bpf/README.rst and mention
that above llvm commit is necessary to successfully pass the tests.
Also mention the verifier error that folks will see when llvm is buggy.

Okay. Will have a followup patch for this.


Few other nits I noticed in relevant patches.
