[PATCH v6 bpf-next 5/9] libbpf: use static const fmt string in __bpf_printk

From: Dave Marchevsky <hidden>
Date: 2021-09-17 18:29:59
Also in: bpf
Subsystem: bpf [general] (safe dynamic programs and tools), bpf [library] (libbpf), the rest · Maintainers: Alexei Starovoitov, Daniel Borkmann, Andrii Nakryiko, Eduard Zingerman, Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi, Linus Torvalds

The __bpf_printk convenience macro was using a 'char' fmt string holder
as it predates support for globals in libbpf. Move to more efficient
'static const char', but provide a fallback to the old way via
BPF_NO_GLOBAL_DATA so users on old kernels can still use the macro.
