If during CO-RE relocations libbpf is not able to find the target type in the running kernel BTF, it searches for it in modules' BTF. The downside of this approach is that loading modules' BTF requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN and this prevents BPF applications from running with more granular capabilities (e.g. CAP_BPF) when they don't need to search types into modules' BTF. This patch skips by default modules' BTF loading phase when CAP_SYS_ADMIN is missing.

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.
