[PATCH bpf-next 3/4] bpf, bpftool: Generate skeleton for global percpu data

[Leon Hwang <leon.hwang@xxxxxxxxx>]

This patch enhances bpftool to generate skeletons for global percpu
variables. The generated skeleton includes a dedicated structure for
percpu data, allowing users to initialize and access percpu variables
efficiently.

Changes:

1. skeleton structure:

For global percpu variables, the skeleton now includes a nested
structure, e.g.:

struct test_global_percpu_data {
	struct bpf_object_skeleton *skeleton;
	struct bpf_object *obj;
	struct {
		struct bpf_map *bss;
		struct bpf_map *percpu;
	} maps;
	// ...
	struct test_global_percpu_data__percpu {
		int percpu_data;
	} *percpu;

	// ...
};

  * The "struct test_global_percpu_data__percpu" points to initialized
    data, which is actually "maps.percpu->data".
  * Before loading the skeleton, updating the
    "struct test_global_percpu_data__percpu" modifies the initial value
    of the corresponding global percpu variables.
  * After loading the skeleton, accessing or updating this struct is no
    longer meaningful. Instead, users must interact with the global
    percpu variables via the "maps.percpu" map.

2. code changes:

  * Added support for ".percpu" sections in bpftool's map identification
    logic.
  * Modified skeleton generation to handle percpu data maps
    appropriately.
  * Updated libbpf to make "percpu" pointing to "maps.percpu->data".
