    bpf tools: Read eBPF object from buffer · 6c956392
    Wang Nan authored
    To support dynamic compiling, this patch allows caller to pass a
    in-memory buffer to libbpf by bpf_object__open_buffer(). libbpf calls
    elf_memory() to open it as ELF object file.
    
    Because __bpf_object__open() collects all required data and won't need
    that buffer anymore, libbpf uses that buffer directly instead of clone a
    new buffer. Caller of libbpf can free that buffer or use it do other
    things after bpf_object__open_buffer() return.
