Re: [PATCH 06/54] perf tools: Add API to config maps in bpf object

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@kernel.org>]

Sorry for the top post, but the message below didn't made it thru due to
local problems as I recently switched notebooks, my postfix setup barfed
this one :-\

This is what I have in my tmp.perf/bpf_map:

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux.git/commit/?h=tmp.perf/bpf_map&id=5c78fe3c5a944ba7f9a85f59548295211f3d252c

Please take a look and see if you're ok with it,

I'm going thru the other patches in this week's patchkit, thanks
for keeping up with this work,

Regards,

Ok, tested this, works great, trace_printk gets what I pass via the
event definition, etc.

One suggestion, tho. I think "maps", plural, is strange, we're referring
to one map, not multiple ones when we write: "map:my_map.value=1234", so
I have this on a separate branch, tmp.perf/bpf_map, do you agree?
Shorter, one character less to type :-)

I also changed some error reports and the commit log, hope that improved
it, please also take a look.

I'm now working on the patch right after this, all will be on the
tmp.perf/bpf_map shortly.
