There are two functions in libbpf that support passing a log_level
parameter for the verifier for loading programs:
bpf_object__load_xattr() and bpf_prog_load_xattr(). Both accept an
attribute object containing the log_level, and apply it to the programs
to load.
It turns out that to effectively load the programs, the latter function
eventually relies on the former. This was not taken into account when
adding support for log_level in bpf_object__load_xattr(), and the
log_level passed to bpf_prog_load_xattr() later gets overwritten with a
zero value, thus disabling verifier logs for the program in all cases:
bpf_prog_load_xattr() // prog->log_level = attr1->log_level;
-> bpf_object__load() // attr2->log_level = 0;
-> bpf_object__load_xattr() // <pass prog and attr2>
-> bpf_object__load_progs() // prog->log_level = attr2->log_level;
Fix this by OR-ing the log_level in bpf_object__load_progs(), instead of
overwriting it.
v2: Fix commit log description (confusion on function names in v1).

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.
