We've ran into issues with using dup2() API in production setting, where libbpf is linked into large production environment and ends up calling unintended custom implementations of dup2(). These custom implementations don't provide atomic FD replacement guarantees of dup2() syscall, leading to subtle and hard to debug issues. To prevent this in the future and guarantee that no libc implementation will do their own custom non-atomic dup2() implementation, call dup2() syscall directly with syscall(SYS_dup2). Note that some architectures don't seem to provide dup2 and have dup3 instead. Try to detect and pick best syscall.

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.
