[Bug bpf/23739] New: bpf embeddedcode should be permitted in non-guru mode


https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23739

            Bug ID: 23739
           Summary: bpf embeddedcode should be permitted in non-guru mode
           Product: systemtap
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: bpf
          Assignee: systemtap at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: me at serhei dot io
  Target Milestone: ---

As described on the label: eBPF ostensibly is a safe bytecode, and dropping
down to embedded-code doesn't add any new capabilities that plain SystemTap
wouldn't support. Hence, embedded-code blocks in an eBPF script should not
require '-g'.

Hold off until after 4.0 as currently under-implementation embeddedcode syntax
is 'experimental' and users should be aware it might be redesigned in future.
