Use the libbpf skeleton facility and other utilities provided by XDP
samples helper.
Similar to xdp_monitor, xdp_redirect_cpu was quite featureful except a
few minor omissions (e.g. redirect errno reporting). All of these have
been moved to XDP samples helper, hence drop the unneeded code and
convert to usage of helpers provided by it.
One of the important changes here is dropping of mprog-disable option,
as we make that the default. Also, we support built-in programs for some
common actions on the packet when it reaches kthread (pass, drop,
redirect to device). If the user still needs to install a custom
program, they can still supply a BPF object, however the program should
be suitably tagged with SEC("xdp_cpumap") annotation so that the
expected attach type is correct when updating our cpumap map element.

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.
