OK. Then let your patch be merged first then let me do the code cleanup.

Thanks!

Once these two lib/bpf patches applied to net-next we can apply
the same to tip and there will be no conflicts during the merge
window.

I'm also planning to fix few things later:

- there is an obscure error
libbpf: relocation failed: no 11 section
It's printed when llvm generates access to global variables.
I think we need to improve the error message to point out the actual
reason of the failure, so the user can fix the program.

- there is another equally obscure error
libbpf: Program 'foo' contains non-map related relo data pointing to 
section 8
It's happening when program is compiled with -g.
It's just a bug in libbpf and the fix is straightforward.

so I suspect these fixes will also go into both net-next and tip.
