For the problem of increasing fragmentation of the bpf loader programs,
instead of using bpf_loader.o, which is used in samples/bpf, this
commit refactors the existing kprobe tracing programs with libbbpf
bpf loader.
- For kprobe events pointing to system calls, the SYSCALL() macro in
trace_common.h was used.
- Adding a kprobe event and attaching a bpf program to it was done
through bpf_program_attach().
- Instead of using the existing BPF MAP definition, MAP definition
has been refactored with the new BTF-defined MAP format.

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.
