[PATCH bpf-next 5/6] libbpf: Add bpf_link_create_log API
From: Leon Hwang
Date: Sat Oct 17 2026 - 10:31:24 EST
Add a new API to accept the log opts, instead of extending the existing
struct bpf_link_create_opts.
In the struct bpf_link_create_opts, it seems not proper to append a
tailing common log field prior to those variant length fields.
Add a new API to avoid breaking the struct bpf_link_create_opts.
