    bpf: btf: Add pretty print support to the basic arraymap · a26ca7c9
    Martin KaFai Lau authored
    This patch adds pretty print support to the basic arraymap.
    Support for other bpf maps can be added later.
    
    This patch adds new attrs to the BPF_MAP_CREATE command to allow
    specifying the btf_fd, btf_key_id and btf_value_id.  The
    BPF_MAP_CREATE can then associate the btf to the map if
    the creating map supports BTF.
    
    A BTF supported map needs to implement two new map ops,
    map_seq_show_elem() and map_check_btf().  This patch has
    implemented these new map ops for the basic arraymap.
    
    It also adds file_operations, bpffs_map_fops, to the pinned
    map such that the pinned map can be opened and read.
    After that, the user has an intuitive way to do
    "cat bpffs/pathto/a-pinned-map" instead of getting
    an error.
    
    bpffs_map_fops should not be extended further to support
    other operations.  Other operations (e.g. write/key-lookup...)
    should be realized by the userspace tools (e.g. bpftool) through
    the BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_FD, map's lookup/update interface...etc.
    Follow up patches will allow the userspace to obtain
    the BTF from a map-fd.
    
    Here is a sample output when reading a pinned arraymap
    with the following map's value:
    
    struct map_value {
    	int count_a;
    	int count_b;
    };
    
    cat /sys/fs/bpf/pinned_array_map:
    
    0: {1,2}
    1: {3,4}
    2: {5,6}
    ...
