This series adds support to libbpf for reading 'pinning' settings from BTF-based
map definitions. It introduces a new bpf_object__pin_maps_opts() function which
accepts options with the new options struct definition style. This allows the
caller to configure the pinning path, and to use both old-style "forced pinning"
where all defined maps are pinned, and the new pinning that is based on the BTF
attribute.
The actual semantics of the pinning is similar to the iproute2 "PIN_GLOBAL"
setting, and the eventual goal is to move the iproute2 implementation to be
based on libbpf and the functions introduced in this series.
Changelog:
v2:
- Drop patch that adds mounting of bpffs
- Only support a single value of the pinning attribute
- Add patch to fixup error handling in reuse_fd()
- Implement the full automatic pinning and map reuse logic on load
