Thanks for the suggestion, Andrii. I tried using the same simple setup
as prog_tests/endian.c but unfortunately when using sys_enter
tracepoint, the bpf program runs several times, on various cpus.
This invalidates the check in userspace to verify that the value was
updated for only one cpu and was initialized to 0 for the other ones.
I tried to change the bpf program so it would only run once but I bumped
into the limitation that the return value of __sync_fetch_annd_add()
(and family) cannot be used. Any suggestion for this? Can I combine
skeleton with bpf_prog_test_run()?
