[PATCH v2 bpf-next 1/6] bpftool: strip const/volatile/restrict modifiers from .bss and .data vars

From: Andrii Nakryiko <andrii@kernel.org>
Date: 2021-04-23 18:54:09
Also in: bpf
Subsystem: bpf [general] (safe dynamic programs and tools), bpf [tooling] (bpftool), the rest · Maintainers: Alexei Starovoitov, Daniel Borkmann, Andrii Nakryiko, Eduard Zingerman, Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi, Quentin Monnet, Linus Torvalds

Similarly to .rodata, strip any const/volatile/restrict modifiers when
generating BPF skeleton. They are not helpful and actually just get in the way.
