Freplace programs can't be loaded from user namespace, as
bpf_program__set_attach_target() requires searching for target prog BTF,
which is locked under CAP_SYS_ADMIN.
This patch set enables this use case by:
1. Relaxing capable check in bpf's BPF_BTF_GET_FD_BY_ID, check for CAP_BPF
instead of CAP_SYS_ADMIN, support BPF token in attr argument.
2. Pass BPF token around libbpf from bpf_program__set_attach_target() to
bpf syscall where capable check is.
3. Validate positive/negative scenarios in selftests

This patch set is enabled by the recent libbpf change[1], that
introduced bpf_object__prepare() API. Calling bpf_object__prepare() for
freplace program before bpf_program__set_attach_target() initializes BPF
token, which is then passed to bpf syscall by libbpf.

Mykyta Yatsenko (4):
  bpf: BPF token support for BPF_BTF_GET_FD_BY_ID
  bpf: return prog btf_id without capable check
  libbpf: pass BPF token from find_prog_btf_id to BPF_BTF_GET_FD_BY_ID
  selftests/bpf: test freplace from user namespace
