Various tests specify extra testing prog_flags when loading BPF programs, like BPF_F_TEST_RND_HI32, and more recently also BPF_F_TEST_REG_INVARIANTS. While BPF_F_TEST_RND_HI32 is old enough to not cause much problem on older kernels, BPF_F_TEST_REG_INVARIANTS is very fresh and unconditionally specifying it causes selftests to fail on even slightly outdated kernels. This breaks libbpf CI test against 4.9 and 5.15 kernels, it can break some local development (done outside of VM), etc. To prevent this, and guard against similar problems in the future, do runtime detection of supported "testing flags", and only provide those that host kernel recognizes.

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.
