Libbpf supports single virtual __kconfig extern currently: LINUX_KERNEL_VERSION.
LINUX_KERNEL_VERSION isn't coming from /proc/kconfig.gz and is intead
customly filled out by libbpf.
This patch generalizes this approach to support more such virtual
__kconfig externs. One such extern added in this patch is
LINUX_HAS_BPF_COOKIE which is used for BPF-side USDT supporting code in
usdt.bpf.h instead of using CO-RE-based enum detection approach for
detecting bpf_get_attach_cookie() BPF helper. This allows to remove
otherwise not needed CO-RE dependency and keeps user-space and BPF-side
parts of libbpf's USDT support strictly in sync in terms of their
feature detection.
We'll use similar approach for syscall wrapper detection for
BPF_KSYSCALL() BPF-side macro in follow up patch.
Generally, currently libbpf reserves CONFIG_ prefix for Kconfig values
and LINUX_ for virtual libbpf-backed externs. In the future we might
extend the set of prefixes that are supported. This can be done without
any breaking changes, as currently any __kconfig extern with
unrecognized name is rejected.
For LINUX_xxx externs we support the normal "weak rule": if libbpf
doesn't recognize given LINUX_xxx extern but such extern is marked as
__weak, it is not rejected and defaults to zero. This follows
CONFIG_xxx handling logic and will allow BPF applications to
opportunistically use newer libbpf virtual externs without breaking on
older libbpf versions unnecessarily.
