Quentin Monnet d77be68955 libbpf: fix string comparison for guessing eBPF program type
libbpf is able to deduce the type of a program from the name of the ELF
section in which it is located. However, the comparison is made on the
first n characters, n being determined with sizeof() applied to the
reference string (e.g. "xdp"). When such section names are supposed to
receive a suffix separated with a slash (e.g. "kprobe/"), using sizeof()
takes the final NUL character of the reference string into account,
which implies that both strings must be equal. Instead, the desired
behaviour would consist in taking the length of the string, *without*
accounting for the ending NUL character, and to make sure the reference
string is a prefix to the ELF section name.

Subtract 1 to the total size of the string for obtaining the length for
the comparison.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
