[RFC PATCH 01/13] bpf tools: Add map related BPF helper

From: Wang Nan
Date: Wed Apr 20 2016 - 14:02:32 EST


Add BPF map helpers so user can read from bpf map in user space.
Following commits will introduce user space BPF, bpf_map will be
used to pass information between kernel and user BPF programs.
