Andrii Nakryiko fa7cc90620 veristat: guess and substitue underlying program type for freplace (EXT) progs
SEC("freplace") (i.e., BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT) programs are not loadable as
is through veristat, as kernel expects actual program's FD during
BPF_PROG_LOAD time, which veristat has no way of knowing.

Unfortunately, freplace programs are a pretty important class of
programs, especially when dealing with XDP chaining solutions, which
rely on EXT programs.

So let's do our best and teach veristat to try to guess the original
program type, based on program's context argument type. And if guessing
process succeeds, we manually override freplace/EXT with guessed program
type using bpf_program__set_type() setter to increase chances of proper
BPF verification.

We rely on BTF and maintain a simple lookup table. This process is
obviously not 100% bulletproof, as valid program might not use context
and thus wouldn't have to specify correct type. Also, __sk_buff is very
ambiguous and is the context type across many different program types.
We pick BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SKB for now, which seems to work fine in
practice so far. Similarly, some program types require specifying attach
type, and so we pick one out of possible few variants.

Best effort at its best. But this makes veristat even more widely
applicable.

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.
