More and more projects use libbpf and one day it'll likely be packaged and distributed as DSO and that requires ABI versioning so that both compatible and incompatible changes to ABI can be introduced in a safe way in the future without breaking executables dynamically linked with a previous version of the library. Usual way to do ABI versioning is version script for the linker. Add such a script for libbpf. All global symbols currently exported via LIBBPF_API macro are added to the version script libbpf.map. The version name LIBBPF_0.0.1 is constructed from the name of the library + version specified by $(LIBBPF_VERSION) in Makefile. Version script does not duplicate the work done by LIBBPF_API macro, it rather complements it. The macro is used at compile time and can be used by compiler to do optimization that can't be done at link time, it is purely about global symbol visibility. The version script, in turn, is used at link time and takes care of ABI versioning. Both techniques are described in details in [1]. Whenever ABI is changed in the future, version script should be changed appropriately.

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.
