Move closer to not relying on bpf_sec_def internals that won't be part of public API, when pluggable SEC() handlers will be allowed. Drop pre-calculated prefix length, and in various helpers don't rely on this prefix length availability. Also minimize reliance on knowing bpf_sec_def's prefix for few places where section prefix shortcuts are supported (e.g., tp vs tracepoint, raw_tp vs raw_tracepoint). Given checking some string for having a given string-constant prefix is such a common operation and so annoying to be done with pure C code, add a small macro helper, str_has_pfx(), and reuse it throughout libbpf.c where prefix comparison is performed. With __builtin_constant_p() it's possible to have a convenient helper that checks some string for having a given prefix, where prefix is either string literal (or compile-time known string due to compiler optimization) or just a runtime string pointer, which is quite convenient and saves a lot of typing and string literal duplication.

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.
