[RFC bpf-next 2/2] selftests/bpf: add a kallsyms iter subtest

From: Alan Maguire
Date: Fri Jun 24 2022 - 12:46:12 EST


add subtest verifying BPF kallsyms iter behaviour. The BPF kallsyms
iter program shows an example of dumping a format different to
kallsyms. It adds KIND and MAX_SIZE fields which represent the
kind of symbol (core kernel, module, ftrace, bpf, or kprobe) and
the maximum size the symbol can be. The latter is calculated from
the difference between current symbol value and the next symbol
value.

The key benefit for this iterator will likely be supporting in-kernel
data-gathering rather than dumping symbol details to userspace and
parsing the results.
