Introduce a macro LIBBPF_DEPRECATED_SINCE(major, minor, message) to prepare the deprecation of two API functions. This macro marks functions as deprecated when libbpf's version reaches the values passed as an argument. As part of this change libbpf_version.h header is added with recorded major (LIBBPF_MAJOR_VERSION) and minor (LIBBPF_MINOR_VERSION) libbpf version macros. They are now part of libbpf public API and can be relied upon by user code. libbpf_version.h is installed system-wide along other libbpf public headers. Due to this new build-time auto-generated header, in-kernel applications relying on libbpf (resolve_btfids, bpftool, bpf_preload) are updated to include libbpf's output directory as part of a list of include search paths. Better fix would be to use libbpf's make_install target to install public API headers, but that clean up is left out as a future improvement. The build changes were tested by building kernel (with KBUILD_OUTPUT and O= specified explicitly), bpftool, libbpf, selftests/bpf, and resolve_btfids builds. No problems were detected. Note that because of the constraints of the C preprocessor we have to write a few lines of macro magic for each version used to prepare deprecation (0.6 for now). Also, use LIBBPF_DEPRECATED_SINCE() to schedule deprecation of btf__get_from_id() and btf__load(), which are replaced by btf__load_from_kernel_by_id() and btf__load_into_kernel(), respectively, starting from future libbpf v0.6. This is part of libbpf 1.0 effort ([0]).

README
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.
