[PATCH 4/5] bpf tools: Improve libbpf error reporting

From: Wang Nan
Date: Tue Nov 03 2015 - 06:01:07 EST


In this patch, a series libbpf specific error numbers and
libbpf_strerror() are created to help report error to caller. Functions
are updated to pass correct error number through macro CHECK_ERR().
