2021-05-25	libbpf: Streamline error reporting for low-level APIs	Andrii Nakryiko
	Ensure that low-level APIs behave uniformly across the libbpf as follows: - in case of an error, errno is always set to the correct error code; - when libbpf 1.0 mode is enabled with LIBBPF_STRICT_DIRECT_ERRS option to libbpf_set_strict_mode(), return -Exxx error value directly, instead of -1; - by default, until libbpf 1.0 is released, keep returning -1 directly. More context, justification, and discussion can be found in "Libbpf: the road to v1.0" document ([0]).

2021-05-25	libbpf: Add libbpf_set_strict_mode() API to turn on libbpf 1.0 behaviors	Andrii Nakryiko
	Add libbpf_set_strict_mode() API that allows application to simulate libbpf 1.0 breaking changes before libbpf 1.0 is released. This will help users migrate gradually and with confidence. For now only ALL or NONE options are available, subsequent patches will add more flags. This patch is preliminary for selftests/bpf changes.
