Re: [PATCH 7/8] tools lib bpf: fix maps resolution

Hi Eric,

During testing this patch I find a segfault, please see inline comment.

In addition, since both the BPF map array and map names should be done
after symbol table is collected, merging bpf_object__init_maps and
bpf_object__init_maps_name would be a good practice, making code
simpler.

So I prepare a new patch. Please have a look at:

http://lkml.kernel.org/g/20161108215734.28905-1-wangnan0@xxxxxxxxxx

New version ensure not crashing in any case user provides a corrupted
maps section, including array of bpf maps, maps with different definition
structures and very short map definition.

Thank you.

It is not correct to assimilate the elf data of the maps section
to an array of map definition. In fact the sizes differ. The
offset provided in the symbol section has to be used instead.

This patch fixes a bug causing a elf with two maps not to load
correctly.
