When loading an eBPF program, libbpf overrides the return code for EPERM errors instead of returning it to the caller. This makes it hard to figure out what went wrong on load. In particular, EPERM is returned when the system rlimit is too low to lock the memory required for the BPF program. Previously, this was somewhat obscured because the rlimit error would be hit on map creation (which does return it correctly). However, since maps can now be reused, object load can proceed all the way to loading programs without hitting the error; propagating it even in this case makes it possible for the caller to react appropriately (and, e.g., attempt to raise the rlimit before retrying).

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.
