Toke Høiland-Jørgensen c3e8c44a90 libbpf: Ignore STT_SECTION symbols in 'maps' section
When parsing legacy map definitions, libbpf would error out when
encountering an STT_SECTION symbol. This becomes a problem because some
versions of binutils will produce SECTION symbols for every section when
processing an ELF file, so BPF files run through 'strip' will end up with
such symbols, making libbpf refuse to load them.

There's not really any reason why erroring out is strictly necessary, so
change libbpf to just ignore SECTION symbols when parsing the ELF.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
