====================
This patch set introduces libbpf_attach_type_by_name function in libbpf
to identify attach type by section name.
This is useful to avoid writing same logic over and over again in user
space applications that leverage libbpf.
Patch 1 has more details on the new function and problem being solved.
Patches 2 and 3 add support for new section names.
Patch 4 uses new function in a selftest.
Patch 5 adds selftest for libbpf_{prog,attach}_type_by_name.
As a side note there are a lot of inconsistencies now between names used
by libbpf and bpftool (e.g. cgroup/skb vs cgroup_skb, cgroup_device and
device vs cgroup/dev, sockops vs sock_ops, etc). This patch set does not
address it but it tries not to make it harder to address it in the future.

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.
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.
