[RFC PATCH v4 16/29] bpf tools: Create eBPF maps defined in an object file

From: Wang Nan
Date: Wed May 27 2015 - 01:27:03 EST


This patch creates maps based on 'map' section in object file using
bpf_create_map(), and store the fds into an array in
'struct bpf_object'. Since the byte order of the object may differ
from the host, swap map definition before processing.

This is the first patch in 'loading' phase. Previous patches parse ELF
object file and create needed data structure, but doesn't play with
kernel. They belong to 'opening' phase.
