Quentin Monnet 6b4384ff10 Revert "bpftool: Use libbpf 1.0 API mode instead of RLIMIT_MEMLOCK"
This reverts commit a777e18f1b.

In commit a777e18f1b ("bpftool: Use libbpf 1.0 API mode instead of
RLIMIT_MEMLOCK"), we removed the rlimit bump in bpftool, because the
kernel has switched to memcg-based memory accounting. Thanks to the
LIBBPF_STRICT_AUTO_RLIMIT_MEMLOCK, we attempted to keep compatibility
with other systems and ask libbpf to raise the limit for us if
necessary.

How do we know if memcg-based accounting is supported? There is a probe
in libbpf to check this. But this probe currently relies on the
availability of a given BPF helper, bpf_ktime_get_coarse_ns(), which
landed in the same kernel version as the memory accounting change. This
works in the generic case, but it may fail, for example, if the helper
function has been backported to an older kernel. This has been observed
for Google Cloud's Container-Optimized OS (COS), where the helper is
available but rlimit is still in use. The probe succeeds, the rlimit is
not raised, and probing features with bpftool, for example, fails.

A patch was submitted [0] to update this probe in libbpf, based on what
the cilium/ebpf Go library does [1]. It would lower the soft rlimit to
0, attempt to load a BPF object, and reset the rlimit. But it may induce
some hard-to-debug flakiness if another process starts, or the current
application is killed, while the rlimit is reduced, and the approach was
discarded.

As a workaround to ensure that the rlimit bump does not depend on the
availability of a given helper, we restore the unconditional rlimit bump
in bpftool for now.

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.
