samples: bpf: elf_bpf file loader
simple .o parser and loader using BPF syscall. .o is a standard ELF generated by LLVM backend It parses elf file compiled by llvm .c->.o - parses 'maps' section and creates maps via BPF syscall - parses 'license' section and passes it to syscall - parses elf relocations for BPF maps and adjusts BPF_LD_IMM64 insns by storing map_fd into insn->imm and marking such insns as BPF_PSEUDO_MAP_FD - loads eBPF programs via BPF syscall One ELF file can contain multiple BPF programs. int load_bpf_file(char *path); populates prog_fd[] and map_fd[] with FDs received from bpf syscall bpf_helpers.h - helper functions available to eBPF programs written in C Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@plumgrid.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
