During the transition to libbpf 1.0 some functions that perf used were deprecated and finally removed from libbpf, so bpf_program__set_insns() was introduced for perf to continue to use its bpf loader. But when build with LIBBPF_DYNAMIC=1 we now need to check if that function is available so that perf can build with older libbpf versions, even if the end result is emitting a warning to the user that the use of the perf BPF loader requires a newer libbpf, since bpf_program__set_insns() touches libbpf objects internal state. This affects only 'perf trace' when using bpf C code or pre-compiled bytecode as an event. Noticed on RHEL9, that has libbpf 0.7.0, where bpf_program__set_insns() isn't available.

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.
