Jesper Dangaard Brouer 5010e94842 samples/bpf: bpf_load.c detect and abort if ELF maps section size is wrong
The struct bpf_map_def was extended in commit fb30d4b712 ("bpf: Add tests
for map-in-map") with member unsigned int inner_map_idx.  This changed the size
of the maps section in the generated ELF _kern.o files.

Unfortunately the loader in bpf_load.c does not detect or handle this.  Thus,
older _kern.o files became incompatible, and caused hard-to-debug errors
where the syscall validation rejected BPF_MAP_CREATE request.

This patch only detect the situation and aborts load_bpf_file(). It also
add code comments warning people that read this loader for inspiration
for these pitfalls.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
