[PATCH v2 bpf-next 0/3] libbpf: support non-mmap()'able data sections

[Andrii Nakryiko <andrii@kernel.org>]

Make libbpf more conservative in using BPF_F_MMAPABLE flag with internal BPF
array maps that are backing global data sections. See patch #2 for full
description and justification.

Changes in this dataset support having bpf_spinlock, kptr, rb_tree nodes and
other "special" variables as global variables. Combining this with libbpf's
existing support for multiple custom .data.* sections allows BPF programs to
utilize multiple spinlock/rbtree_node/kptr variables in a pretty natural way
by just putting all such variables into separate data sections (and thus ARRAY
maps).

v1->v2:
  - address Stanislav's feedback, adds acks.

Andrii Nakryiko (3):
  libbpf: clean up and refactor BTF fixup step
  libbpf: only add BPF_F_MMAPABLE flag for data maps with global vars
  libbpf: add non-mmapable data section selftest
