Add a "bpftool feature list" subcommand to list BPF "features".
Contrarily to "bpftool feature probe", this is not about the features
available on the system. Instead, it lists all features known to bpftool
from compilation time; in other words, all program, map, attach, link
types known to the libbpf version in use, and all helpers found in the
UAPI BPF header.
The first use case for this feature is bash completion: running the
command provides a list of types that can be used to produce the list of
candidate map types, for example.
Now that bpftool uses "standard" names provided by libbpf for the
program, map, link, and attach types, having the ability to list these
types and helpers could also be useful in scripts to loop over existing
items.
Sample output:
# bpftool feature list prog_types | grep -vw unspec | head -n 6
socket_filter
kprobe
sched_cls
sched_act
tracepoint
xdp
# bpftool -p feature list map_types | jq '.[1]'
"hash"
# bpftool feature list attach_types | grep '^cgroup_'
cgroup_inet_ingress
cgroup_inet_egress
[...]
cgroup_inet_sock_release
# bpftool feature list helpers | grep -vw bpf_unspec | wc -l
207
The "unspec" types and helpers are not filtered out by bpftool, so as to
remain closer to the enums, and to preserve the indices in the JSON
arrays (e.g. "hash" at index 1 == BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH in map types list).

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.
