bpf_prog_load_xattr() is high-level API that's named as a low-level BPF_PROG_LOAD wrapper APIs, but it actually operates on struct bpf_object. It's badly and confusingly misnamed as it will load all the progs insige bpf_object, returning prog_fd of the very first BPF program. It also has a bunch of ad-hoc things like log_level override, map_ifindex auto-setting, etc. All this can be expressed more explicitly and cleanly through existing libbpf APIs. This patch marks bpf_prog_load_xattr() for deprecation in libbpf v0.8 ([0]).

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.
