The kernel exposes a log of operations to aid debugging a program
or BTF load. Until recently there was no way to know the size of
that buffer, so the library forces the user to specify a buffer
size. From a cursory survey on sourcegraph.com it seems that
users either hardcode a large fixed buffer or probe the correct
size by doubling the buffer size when hitting ENOSPC.
Since commit 47a71c1f9af0 ("bpf: Add log_true_size output field
to return necessary log buffer size") the kernel does provide a
hint to user space.
Move probing of the correct log buffer size into the library. On
recent (>= 6.4) kernels this is guaranteed to work in a single
call. On older kernels we use the doubling strategy employed by
cilium and tetragon.
