====================
This set is next part of a quest to get rid of the bpf_load
ELF loader.  It fixes some minor issues with the samples and
starts the conversion.

First patch fixes ping invocations, ping localhost defaults
to IPv6 on modern setups. Next load_sock_ops sample is removed
and users are directed towards using bpftool directly.

Patch 4 removes the use of bpf_load from samples which don't
need the auto-attachment functionality at all.

Patch 5 improves symbol counting in libbpf, it's not currently
an issue but it will be when anyone adds a symbol with a long
name. Let's make sure that person doesn't have to spend time
scratching their head and wondering why .a and .so symbol
counts don't match.

v2: - specify prog_type where possible (Andrii).

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.
