====================
This patch set moves bpf_for(), bpf_for_each(), and bpf_repeat() macros from
selftests-internal bpf_misc.h header to libbpf-provided bpf_helpers.h header.
To do this in a way to allow users to feature-detect and guard such
bpf_for()/bpf_for_each() uses on old kernels we also extend libbpf to improve
unresolved kfunc calls handling and reporting. This lets us mark
bpf_iter_num_{new,next,destroy}() declarations as __weak, and thus not fail
program loading outright if such kfuncs are missing on the host kernel.
Patches #1 and #2 do some simple clean ups and logging improvements. Patch #3
adds kfunc call poisoning and log fixup logic and is the hear of this patch
set, effectively. Patch #4 adds selftest for this logic. Patches #4 and #5
move bpf_for()/bpf_for_each()/bpf_repeat() into bpf_helpers.h header and mark
kfuncs as __weak to allow users to feature-detect and guard their uses.

============
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.
