Initialized global variables are no different in ELF from static variables, and don't require any extra support from libbpf. But they are matching semantics of global data (backed by BPF maps) more closely, preventing LLVM/Clang from aggressively inlining constant values and not requiring volatile incantations to prevent those. This patch enables global variables. It still disables uninitialized variables, which will be put into special COM (common) ELF section, because BPF doesn't allow uninitialized data to be accessed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
