This patch set teaches libbpf how to declare and initialize ARRAY_OF_MAPS and HASH_OF_MAPS maps. See patch #3 for all the details. Patch #1 refactors parsing BTF definition of map to re-use it cleanly for inner map definition parsing. Patch #2 refactors map creation and destruction logic for reuse. It also fixes existing bug with not closing successfully created maps when bpf_object map creation overall fails. Patch #3 adds support for an extension of BTF-defined map syntax, as well as parsing, recording, and use of relocations to allow declaratively initialize outer maps with references to inner maps.
