This patch breaks the behavior introduced in
commit eac7d84519a3 ("tools: libbpf: don't return '.text' as a program for
multi-function programs"):
"Make bpf_program__next() skip over '.text' section if object file
has pseudo calls. The '.text' section is hardly a program in that
case, it's more of a storage for code of functions other than main."
For example, the userspace could have been doing:
prog = bpf_program__next(NULL, obj);
bpf_program__set_type(prog, BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACEPOINT);
bpf_object__load(obj);
For the bpf_prog.o that has pseudo calls, after this patch in bpf-next,
the prog returned by bpf_program__next() could be in ".text" instead of
the main bpf program. The next bpf_program__set_type() has
no effect to the main program. The following bpf_object__load()
will catch user in surprise with the main bpf prog in
the wrong BPF_PROG_TYPE.
