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}

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
