Add output-only log_true_size field to bpf_prog_load_opts to return bpf_attr->log_true_size value back from bpf() syscall. Note, that we have to drop const modifier from opts in bpf_prog_load(). This could potentially cause compilation error for some users. But the usual practice is to define bpf_prog_load_ops as a local variable next to bpf_prog_load() call and pass pointer to it, so const vs non-const makes no difference and won't even come up in most (if not all) cases. There are no runtime and ABI backwards/forward compatibility issues at all. If user provides old struct bpf_prog_load_opts, libbpf won't set new fields. If old libbpf is provided new bpf_prog_load_opts, nothing will happen either as old libbpf doesn't yet know about this new field. Adding a new variant of bpf_prog_load() just for this seems like a big and unnecessary overkill. As a corroborating evidence is the fact that entire selftests/bpf code base required not adjustment whatsoever.

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.
