Andrii Nakryiko 3a06ec0a99 libbpf: Allow WEAK and GLOBAL bindings during BTF fixup
During BTF fix up for global variables, global variable can be global
weak and will have STB_WEAK binding in ELF. Support such global
variables in addition to non-weak ones.

This is not the problem when using BPF static linking, as BPF static
linker "fixes up" BTF during generation so that libbpf doesn't have to
do it anymore during bpf_object__open(), which led to this not being
noticed for a while, along with a pretty rare (currently) use of __weak
variables and maps.

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.
