libbpf: Deprecate bpf_prog_load_xattr() API
bpf_prog_load_xattr() is high-level API that's named as a low-level BPF_PROG_LOAD wrapper APIs, but it actually operates on struct bpf_object. It's badly and confusingly misnamed as it will load all the progs insige bpf_object, returning prog_fd of the very first BPF program. It also has a bunch of ad-hoc things like log_level override, map_ifindex auto-setting, etc. All this can be expressed more explicitly and cleanly through existing libbpf APIs. This patch marks bpf_prog_load_xattr() for deprecation in libbpf v0.8 ([0]). [0] Closes: https://github.com/libbpf/libbpf/issues/308 Signed-off-by:Andrii Nakryiko <andrii@kernel.org> Signed-off-by:
