I think this will mishandle SEC("uretprobe"), let's fix this in a
follow up (and see a note about uretprobe selftests)

this seems excessive to log this, it's expected situation. The message
itself is also misleading, SEC("uretprobe") isn't old-style, it's
valid and supported case. SEC("uretprobe/something") is an error now,
so that's a different thing (let's improve handling in the follow up).

I have this feeling that you could have simplified this a bunch with
just one sscanf. Something along the lines of
"%m[^/]/%m[^:]:%m[a-zA-Z0-9_.]+%li". If one argument matched (supposed
to be uprobe or uretprobe), then it is a no-auto-attach case, just
exit. If two matched -- invalid definition (old-style definition you
were reporting erroneously above in pr_debug). If 3 matched -- binary
+ func (or abs offset), if 4 matched - binary + func + offset. That
should cover everything, right?

Please try to do this in a follow up.

this should have been return libbpf_get_error(*link), fixed it
