libbpf: Deprecate multi-instance bpf_program APIs
mainline inclusion from mainline-5.16-rc1 commit e21d585c category: feature bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I5EUVD CVE: NA Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=e21d585cb3db65a207cd338c74b9886090ef1ceb ------------------------------------------------- Schedule deprecation of a set of APIs that are related to multi-instance bpf_programs: - bpf_program__set_prep() ([0]); - bpf_program__{set,unset}_instance() ([1]); - bpf_program__nth_fd(). These APIs are obscure, very niche, and don't seem to be used much in practice. bpf_program__set_prep() is pretty useless for anything but the simplest BPF programs, as it doesn't allow to adjust BPF program load attributes, among other things. In short, it already bitrotted and will bitrot some more if not removed. With bpf_program__insns() API, which gives access to post-processed BPF program instructions of any given entry-point BPF program, it's now possible to do whatever necessary adjustments were possible with set_prep() API before, but also more. Given any such use case is automatically an advanced use case, requiring users to stick to low-level bpf_prog_load() APIs and managing their own prog FDs is reasonable.
