tools: bpftool: add probes for eBPF map types
Add new probes for eBPF map types, to detect what are the ones available
on the system. Try creating one map of each type, and see if the kernel
complains.
Sample output:
# bpftool feature probe kernel
...
Scanning eBPF map types...
eBPF map_type hash is available
eBPF map_type array is available
eBPF map_type prog_array is available
...
# bpftool --json --pretty feature probe kernel
{
...
"map_types": {
"have_hash_map_type": true,
"have_array_map_type": true,
"have_prog_array_map_type": true,
...
}
}
v5:
- In libbpf.map, move global symbol to the new LIBBPF_0.0.2 section.
v3:
- Use a switch with all enum values for setting specific map parameters,
so that gcc complains at compile time (-Wswitch-enum) if new map types
were added to the kernel but libbpf was not updated.
v2:
- Move probes from bpftool to libbpf.
- Remove C-style macros output from this patch.
