Andrii Nakryiko bfa92e0bdc Merge branch 'bpftool: fix feature output when helper probes fail'
Milan Landaverde says:

====================

Currently in bpftool's feature probe, we incorrectly tell the user that
all of the helper functions are supported for program types where helper
probing fails or is explicitly unsupported[1]:

$ bpftool feature probe
...
eBPF helpers supported for program type tracing:
	- bpf_map_lookup_elem
	- bpf_map_update_elem
	- bpf_map_delete_elem
	...
	- bpf_redirect_neigh
	- bpf_check_mtu
	- bpf_sys_bpf
	- bpf_sys_close

This patch adjusts bpftool to relay to the user when helper support
can't be determined:

$ bpftool feature probe
...
eBPF helpers supported for program type lirc_mode2:
    Program type not supported
eBPF helpers supported for program type tracing:
    Could not determine which helpers are available
eBPF helpers supported for program type struct_opts:
    Could not determine which helpers are available
eBPF helpers supported for program type ext:
    Could not determine which helpers are available

Rather than imply that no helpers are available for the program type, we
let the user know that helper function probing failed entirely.

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.
