libbpf automatically adjusts autoload for struct_ops programs, see libbpf.c:bpf_object_adjust_struct_ops_autoload. For example, if there is a map: SEC(".struct_ops.link") struct sched_ext_ops ops = { .enqueue = foo, .tick = bar, }; Both 'foo' and 'bar' would be loaded if 'ops' autocreate is true, both 'foo' and 'bar' would be skipped if 'ops' autocreate is false. This means that when veristat processes object file with 'ops', it would load 4 programs in total: two programs per each 'process_prog' call. The adjustment occurs at object load time, and libbpf remembers association between 'ops' and 'foo'/'bar' at object open time. The only way to persuade libbpf to load one of two is to adjust map initial value, such that only one program is referenced. This patch does exactly that, significantly reducing time to process object files with big number of struct_ops programs.
