[RFC PATCH v7 15/37] bpf tools: Create eBPF maps defined in an object file

Wang Nan
2015-06-12T05:45:25Z

This patch creates maps based on 'map' section in object file using
bpf_create_map(), and stores the fds into an array in
'struct bpf_object'.

Previous patches parse ELF object file and collecte required data, but
doesn't play with kernel. They belong to 'opening' phase. This patch is
the first patch in 'loading' phase. 'loaded' field is introduced to
'struct bpf_object' to avoid loading one object twice, because loading
phase clears resources collected during opening which become useless
after loading. In this patch, maps_buf is cleared.
