I'm actually against it. Just a pure string message for error is often
quite confusing. It's an extra step, and sometimes quite a quest in
itself, to find what's the integer value of errno it was, just to try
to understand what kind of error it actually is. So I certainly prefer
having integer value, optionally with a string error message.

But that's too much hassle for this "shouldn't happen" type of errors.
If they happen, the user is unlikely to infer anything useful and fix
the problem by themselves. They will most probably have to ask on the
mailing list and paste error messages verbatim and let people like me
and you try to guess what's going on. In such cases, having an errno
number is much more helpful.

The other BPF program (skeleton/profiler.bpf.c) is also GPL-2.0, we
should probably switch both.

I wonder if leaving this as GPL would be ok, if the source code itself
is dual GPL/BSD?
