The limit for memory locked in the kernel by a process is usually set to
64 kbytes by default. This can be an issue when creating large BPF maps
and/or loading many programs. A workaround is to raise this limit for
the current process before trying to create a new BPF map. Changing the
hard limit requires the CAP_SYS_RESOURCE and can usually only be done by
root user (for non-root users, a call to setrlimit fails (and sets
errno) and the program simply goes on with its rlimit unchanged).
There is no API to get the current amount of memory locked for a user,
therefore we cannot raise the limit only when required. One solution,
used by bcc, is to try to create the map, and on getting a EPERM error,
raising the limit to infinity before giving another try. Another
approach, used in iproute2, is to raise the limit in all cases, before
trying to create the map.
Here we do the same as in iproute2: the rlimit is raised to infinity
before trying to load programs or to create maps with bpftool.

The nfp driver is currently always JITing the BPF for 4 context/thread
mode of the NFP flow processors. Tell this to the disassembler,
otherwise some registers may be incorrectly decoded.

Add a way of creating maps from user space. The command takes
as parameters most of the attributes of the map creation system
call command. After map is created its pinned to bpffs. This makes
it possible to easily and dynamically (without rebuilding programs)
test various corner cases related to map creation.
Map type names are taken from bpftool's array used for printing.
In general these days we try to make use of libbpf type names, but
there are no map type names in libbpf as of today.
As with most features I add the motivation is testing (offloads) :)

Arguments of 'pin' subcommand should be checked
at the very beginning of do_pin_any().
Otherwise segfault errors can occur when using
'map pin' or 'prog pin' commands, so fix it.

Users of BPF sooner or later discover perf_event_output() helpers
and BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY. Dumping this array type is
not possible, however, we can add simple reading of perf events.
Create a new event_pipe subcommand for maps, this sub command
will only work with BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY maps.

The current architecture detection method in bpftool is designed for host
case.
For offload case, we can't use the architecture of "bpftool" itself.
Instead, we could call the existing "ifindex_to_name_ns" to get DEVNAME,
then read pci id from /sys/class/dev/DEVNAME/device/vendor, finally we map
vendor id to bfd arch name which will finally be used to select bfd backend
for the disassembler.

The two functions were declared as static inline in a header file. There
is no particular reason why they should be inlined, they just happened to
remain in the same header file when they were turned from macros to
functions in a precious commit.
Make them non-inlined functions and move them to common.c file instead.

One possible cause of failure for `bpftool {prog|map} pin * file FILE`
is the FILE not being in an eBPF virtual file system (bpffs). In this
case, make bpftool attempt to mount bpffs on the parent directory of the
FILE. Then, if this operation is successful, try again to pin the
object.
The code for mnt_bpffs() is a copy of function bpf_mnt_fs() from
iproute2 package (under lib/bpf.c, taken at commit 4b73d52f8a81), with
modifications regarding handling of error messages.

Turn err() and info() macros into functions.
In order to avoid naming conflicts with variables in the code, rename
them as p_err() and p_info() respectively.
The behavior of these functions is similar to the one of the macros for
plain output. However, when JSON output is requested, these macros
return a JSON-formatted "error" object instead of printing a message to
stderr.
To handle error messages correctly with JSON, a modification was brought
to their behavior nonetheless: the functions now append a end-of-line
character at the end of the message. This way, we can remove end-of-line
characters at the end of the argument strings, and not have them in the
JSON output.
All error messages are formatted to hold in a single call to p_err(), in
order to produce a single JSON field.
