Add libbpf-internal btf_load_into_kernel() that allows to pass preallocated log_buf and custom log_level to be passed into kernel during BPF_BTF_LOAD call. When custom log_buf is provided, btf_load_into_kernel() won't attempt an retry with automatically allocated internal temporary buffer to capture BTF validation log. It's important to note the relation between log_buf and log_level, which slightly deviates from stricter kernel logic. From kernel's POV, if log_buf is specified, log_level has to be > 0, and vice versa. While kernel has good reasons to request such "sanity, this, in practice, is a bit unconvenient and restrictive for libbpf's high-level bpf_object APIs. So libbpf will allow to set non-NULL log_buf and log_level == 0. This is fine and means to attempt to load BTF without logging requested, but if it failes, retry the load with custom log_buf and log_level 1. Similar logic will be implemented for program loading. In practice this means that users can provide custom log buffer just in case error happens, but not really request slower verbose logging all the time. This is also consistent with libbpf behavior when custom log_buf is not set: libbpf first tries to load everything with log_level=0, and only if error happens allocates internal log buffer and retries with log_level=1. Also, while at it, make BTF validation log more obvious and follow the log pattern libbpf is using for dumping BPF verifier log during BPF_PROG_LOAD. BTF loading resulting in an error will look like this: libbpf: BTF loading error: -22 libbpf: -- BEGIN BTF LOAD LOG --- magic: 0xeb9f version: 1 flags: 0x0 hdr_len: 24 type_off: 0 type_len: 1040 str_off: 1040 str_len: 2063598257 btf_total_size: 1753 Total section length too long -- END BTF LOAD LOG -- libbpf: Error loading .BTF into kernel: -22. BTF is optional, ignoring. This makes it much easier to find relevant parts in libbpf log output.
