[PATCH bpf-next v3] bpftool: Check map name length when map create

[PATCH bpf-next v3] bpftool: Check map name length when map create

[Rong Tao]

From: Rong Tao <rongtao@cestc.cn>

The size of struct bpf_map::name is BPF_OBJ_NAME_LEN (16).

bpf(2) {
  map_create() {
    bpf_obj_name_cpy(map->name, attr->map_name, sizeof(attr->map_name));
  }
}

When specifying a map name using bpftool map create name, no error is
reported if the name length is greater than 15.

    $ sudo bpftool map create /sys/fs/bpf/12345678901234567890 \
        type array key 4 value 4 entries 5 name 12345678901234567890

Users will think that 12345678901234567890 is legal, but this name cannot
be used to index a map.

    $ sudo bpftool map show name 12345678901234567890
    Error: can't parse name

    $ sudo bpftool map show
    ...
    1249: array  name 123456789012345  flags 0x0
    	key 4B  value 4B  max_entries 5  memlock 304B

    $ sudo bpftool map show name 123456789012345
    1249: array  name 123456789012345  flags 0x0
    	key 4B  value 4B  max_entries 5  memlock 304B

The map name provided in the command line is truncated, but no warning is
reported. This submission checks the length of the map name.

Change looks mostly good, thanks! Two small things to address with this
message string:

- Please remove the trailing '\n', p_info() adds it already.
- Please replace %d with %u. The value is unsigned, and we've merged a
commit to clean these up recently, 17c3dc50294b ("bpftool: Using the
right format specifiers").
