Merge branch 'support-global-data'

Daniel Borkmann says:

====================
This series is a major rework of previously submitted libbpf
patches [0] in order to add global data support for BPF. The
kernel has been extended to add proper infrastructure that allows
for full .bss/.data/.rodata sections on BPF loader side based
upon feedback from LPC discussions [1]. Latter support is then
also added into libbpf in this series which allows for more
natural C-like programming of BPF programs. For more information
on loader, please refer to 'bpf, libbpf: support global data/bss/
rodata sections' patch in this series.

Thanks a lot!

  v5 -> v6:
   - Removed synchronize_rcu() from map freeze (Jann)
   - Rest as-is
  v4 -> v5:
   - Removed index selection again for ldimm64 (Alexei)
   - Adapted related test cases and added new ones to test
     rejection of off != 0
  v3 -> v4:
   - Various fixes in BTF verification e.g. to disallow
     Var and DataSec to be an intermediate type during resolve (Martin)
   - More BTF test cases added
   - Few cleanups in key-less BTF commit (Martin)
   - Bump libbpf minor version from 2 to 3
   - Renamed and simplified read-only locking
   - Various minor improvements all over the place
  v2 -> v3:
   - Implement BTF support in kernel, libbpf, bpftool, add tests
   - Fix idx + off conversion (Andrii)
   - Document lower / higher bits for direct value access (Andrii)
   - Add tests with small value size (Andrii)
   - Add index selection into ldimm64 (Andrii)
   - Fix missing fdput() (Jann)
   - Reject invalid flags in BPF_F_*_PROG (Jakub)
   - Complete rework of libbpf support, includes:
    - Add objname to map name (Stanislav)
    - Make .rodata map full read-only after setup (Andrii)
    - Merge relocation handling into single one (Andrii)
    - Store global maps into obj->maps array (Andrii, Alexei)
    - Debug message when skipping section (Andrii)
    - Reject non-static global data till we have
      semantics for sharing them (Yonghong, Andrii, Alexei)
    - More test cases and completely reworked prog test (Alexei)
   - Fixes, cleanups, etc all over the set
   - Not yet addressed:
    - Make BTF mandatory for these maps (Alexei)
    -> Waiting till BTF support for these lands first
  v1 -> v2:
    - Instead of 32-bit static data, implement full global
      data support (Alexei)
