[PATCHv5 bpf-next 11/28] libbpf: Add elf_resolve_syms_offsets function

Jiri Olsa
2023-07-30T13:44:19Z

Adding elf_resolve_syms_offsets function that looks up
offsets for symbols specified in syms array argument.

Offsets are returned in allocated array with the 'cnt' size,
that needs to be released by the caller.
