Subject: [PATCH bpf] libbpf: Return btf_fd in libbpf__probe_raw_btf

Function load_sk_storage_btf expects that libbpf__probe_raw_btf is
returning a btf descriptor, but before this change it was returning
an information about whether the probe was successful (0 or 1).
load_sk_storage_btf was using that value as an argument to the close
function, which was resulting in closing stdout and thus terminating the
process which used that dunction.

That bug was visible in bpftool. `bpftool feature` subcommand was always
exiting too early (because of closed stdout) and it didn't display all
requested probes. `bpftool -j feature` or `bpftool -p feature` were not
returning a valid json object.

Fixes: d7c4b3980c18 ("libbpf: detect supported kernel BTF features and sanitize BTF")

Opps! I will fix in v2. Thanks!

This whole ret variable seems unnecessary. Also if btf_fd is invalid,
we probably shouldn't close it. So just this should work:

btf_fd = libbpf__probe_raw_btf(...);
if (btf_fd >= 0) {
obj->caps.btf_func = 1;
close(btf_fd);
}
return btf_fd >= 0;

Same as above.

I'm wondering if it's better to rename this function to something like
libbpf__load_raw_btf? probe (at least to me) implies true/false
result, so feels like it might be easily misused.
