Add new probes for eBPF map types, to detect what are the ones available
on the system. Try creating one map of each type, and see if the kernel
complains.
Sample output:
# bpftool feature probe kernel
...
Scanning eBPF map types...
eBPF map_type hash is available
eBPF map_type array is available
eBPF map_type prog_array is available
...
# bpftool --json --pretty feature probe kernel
{
...
"map_types": {
"have_hash_map_type": true,
"have_array_map_type": true,
"have_prog_array_map_type": true,
...
}
}
v5:
- In libbpf.map, move global symbol to the new LIBBPF_0.0.2 section.
v3:
- Use a switch with all enum values for setting specific map parameters,
so that gcc complains at compile time (-Wswitch-enum) if new map types
were added to the kernel but libbpf was not updated.
v2:
- Move probes from bpftool to libbpf.
- Remove C-style macros output from this patch.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
