Re: [PATCHv2 perf/core 2/2] tools lib bpf: Sync with samples/bpf/libbpf

["Wangnan (F)" <wangnan0@huawei.com>]

I'm also working on improving bpf.c. Please have a look at:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/11/14/1078

Since bpf.c is simple, I think we can add more functions and fixes
gradually, instead of a full copy.

See my inline comment below.

Why we need these network related headers?

I lost map_flags in original bpf.c. Thanks to your patch. map_flags is 
useful
when creating BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERCPU_HASH: BPF_F_NO_PREALLOC is meanful in this
case.

Although it is okay in samples, I still prefer a explicit bzero() or 
memset(),
because kernel checks if unused field in this union is zero. However 
I'll check
c standard to see how unused field would be initialized.

Should we define these macros here? They are in include/linux/filter.h
and duplicated in tools/include/linux/filter.h. Redefining them here
would cause conflict.

Thank you.
