Only keep stderr output in case of errors for kernel and selftests builds.
Having a multi-thousand-line output isn't useful and slows down Github
Actions' log view UI.
Also quiet down wget's "progress bar" output. While at the same time see some
totals from tar, just for the fun of it.

Attempt to first fetch bpf-next tree from a snapshot, falling back to shallow
clone, and if that is not enough, doing a full bpf-next clone. This should
both improve a speed and (because of full clone fallback) improve test
reliability if libbpf wasn't synced in a while.

- The previously introduced git fetch depth of bpf-next tree is not sufficient
when bpf-next tree is far ahead from libbpf checkpoint commit, so increase the
depth up to 128 max. Since 128 may be an overkill for a general case, increase
exponentially in a loop until max is reached.
- Do not fetch bpf-next twice
- Remove setup_example.sh
Run kernel selftests in vmtest with the goal to test libbpf backward
compatibility with older kernels.
The list of kernels should be specified in .travis.yml config in
`jobs` section, e.g. KERNEL=5.5.0.
Enlisted kernel releases
- 5.5.0 # built from main
- 5.5.0-rc6 # built from bpf-next
- LATEST
The kernel specified as 'LATEST' in .travis.yml is built from bpf-next kernel
tree, the rest of the kernels are downloaded from the specified in INDEX file.
The kernel sources from bpf-next are manually patched with [1] from bpf tree to
fix ranqslower build. This workaround should be removed after the patch is merged
from bpf to bpf-next tree.
Due to kernel sources being checked out the duration of the LATEST kernel test is
~30m.
bpf selftests are built from tools/testing/selftests/bpf/ of bpf-next tree with
HEAD revision set to CHECKPOINT-COMMIT specified in libbpf so selftests and
libbpf are in sync.
Currently only programs are tested with test_progs program, test_maps and
test_verifier should follow.
test_progs are run with blacklist required due to:
- some features, e.g. fentry/fexit are not supported in older kernels
- environment limitations, e.g an absence of the recent pahole in Debian
- incomplete disk image
The blacklist is passed to test_progs with -b option as specified in [2]
patch set.
Most of the preceeding tests are disabled due to incomplete disk image currenly
lacking proper networking settings.
For the LATEST kernel fome fentry/fexit tests are disabled due to pahole v1.16
is not abailible in Debian yet.
Next steps are resolving issues with blacklisted tests, enabling maps and
verifier testing, expanding the list of tested kernels.
