[PATCH bpf-next v4 6/8] bpftool: Generate skeleton for global percpu data

[Leon Hwang <leon.hwang@linux.dev>]

Enhance bpftool to generate skeletons that properly handle global percpu
variables. The generated skeleton now includes a dedicated structure for
percpu data, allowing users to initialize and access percpu variables more
efficiently.

For global percpu variables, the skeleton now includes a nested
structure, e.g.:

struct test_global_percpu_data {
	struct bpf_object_skeleton *skeleton;
	struct bpf_object *obj;
	struct {
		struct bpf_map *percpu;
	} maps;
	// ...
	struct test_global_percpu_data__percpu {
		int data;
		char run;
		struct {
			char set;
			int i;
			int nums[7];
		} struct_data;
		int nums[7];
	} *percpu;

	// ...
};

  * The "struct test_global_percpu_data__percpu *percpu" points to
    initialized data, which is actually "maps.percpu->mmaped".
  * Before loading the skeleton, updating the
    "struct test_global_percpu_data__percpu *percpu" modifies the initial
    value of the corresponding global percpu variables.
  * After loading the skeleton, "maps.percpu->mmaped" has been marked as
    read-only. If users want to update the global percpu variables, they
    have to update the "maps.percpu" map instead.
