mainlining shenanigans
cb80ddc671
The main change is a move of the single line #include "iterators.lskel.h" from iterators/iterators.c to bpf_preload_kern.c. Which means that generated light skeleton can be used from user space or user mode driver like iterators.c or from the kernel module or the kernel itself. The direct use of light skeleton from the kernel module simplifies the code, since UMD is no longer necessary. The libbpf.a required user space and UMD. The CO-RE in the kernel and generated "loader bpf program" used by the light skeleton are capable to perform complex loading operations traditionally provided by libbpf. In addition UMD approach was launching UMD process every time bpffs has to be mounted. With light skeleton in the kernel the bpf_preload kernel module loads bpf iterators once and pins them multiple times into different bpffs mounts.

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.
