Support setting `expected_attach_type` at prog load time in both `bpf/bpf.h` and `bpf/libbpf.h`. Since both headers already have API to load programs, new functions are added not to break backward compatibility for existing ones: * `bpf_load_program_xattr()` is added to `bpf/bpf.h`; * `bpf_prog_load_xattr()` is added to `bpf/libbpf.h`. Both new functions accept structures, `struct bpf_load_program_attr` and `struct bpf_prog_load_attr` correspondingly, where new fields can be added in the future w/o changing the API. Standard `_xattr` suffix is used to name the new API functions. Since `bpf_load_program_name()` is not used as heavily as `bpf_load_program()`, it was removed in favor of more generic `bpf_load_program_xattr()`.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
