libbpf_set_strict_mode() checks that the passed mode doesn't contain extra bits for LIBBPF_STRICT_* flags that don't exist yet. It makes it difficult for applications to disable some strict flags as something like "LIBBPF_STRICT_ALL & ~LIBBPF_STRICT_MAP_DEFINITIONS" is rejected by this check and they have to use a rather complicated formula to calculate it.[0] One possibility is to change LIBBPF_STRICT_ALL to only contain the bits of all existing LIBBPF_STRICT_* flags instead of 0xffffffff. However it's not possible because the idea is that applications compiled against older libbpf_legacy.h would still be opting into latest LIBBPF_STRICT_ALL features.[1] The other possibility is to remove that check so something like "LIBBPF_STRICT_ALL & ~LIBBPF_STRICT_MAP_DEFINITIONS" is allowed. It's what this commit does.

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.
