Given that vmlinux.h is not compatible with headers like stddef.h, NULL poses
an annoying problem: it is defined as #define, so is not captured in BTF, so
is not emitted into vmlinux.h. This leads to users either sticking to explicit
0, or defining their own NULL (as progs/skb_pkt_end.c does).
But it's easy for bpf_helpers.h to provide (conditionally) NULL definition.
Similarly, KERNEL_VERSION is another commonly missed macro that came up
multiple times. So this patch adds both of them, along with offsetof(), that
also is typically defined in stddef.h, just like NULL.
This might cause compilation warning for existing BPF applications defining
their own NULL and/or KERNEL_VERSION already:
progs/skb_pkt_end.c:7:9: warning: 'NULL' macro redefined [-Wmacro-redefined]
#define NULL 0
^
/tmp/linux/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/tools/include/vmlinux.h:4:9: note: previous definition is here
#define NULL ((void *)0)
^
It is trivial to fix, though, so long-term benefits outweight temporary
inconveniences.
