Extend libbpf's pre-load checks for BPF programs, detecting more typical
conditions that are destinated to cause BPF program failure. This is an
opportunity to provide more helpful and actionable error message to
users, instead of potentially very confusing BPF verifier log and/or
error.
In this case, we detect struct_ops BPF program that was not referenced
anywhere, but still attempted to be loaded (according to libbpf logic).
Suggest that the program might need to be used in some struct_ops
variable. User will get a message of the following kind:
libbpf: prog 'test_1_forgotten': SEC("struct_ops") program isn't referenced anywhere, did you forget to use it?

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 reStructuredText 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.
