From: Roberto Sassu <roberto.sassu@xxxxxxxxxx>

Add the _opts variant for bpf_*_get_fd_by_id() functions, to be able to
pass to the kernel more options, when requesting a fd of an eBPF object to
the kernel.

Pass the options through a newly introduced structure, bpf_get_fd_opts,
which currently contains open_flags (the other two members are for
compatibility and for padding).

open_flags allows the caller to request specific permissions to access a
map (e.g. read-only). This is useful for example in the situation where a
map is write-protected.

Besides patches 2-6, which introduce the new variants and the data
structure, patch 1 fixes the LIBBPF_1.0.0 declaration in libbpf.map.

Roberto Sassu (6):
libbpf: Fix LIBBPF_1.0.0 declaration in libbpf.map
libbpf: Define bpf_get_fd_opts and introduce
bpf_map_get_fd_by_id_opts()
libbpf: Introduce bpf_prog_get_fd_by_id_opts()
libbpf: Introduce bpf_btf_get_fd_by_id_opts()
libbpf: Introduce bpf_link_get_fd_by_id_opts()
selftests/bpf: Add tests for _opts variants of bpf_*_get_fd_by_id()
