Subject: [PATCH] bpf/stackmap: Implement bpf_get_next_key
Currently stackmaps can't be iterated over. The keys are obtained
through other maps and look ups have to be performed. In new usecases,
its useful to be able to iterate over the stackmap independently.
Implement bpf_get_next_key to make this possible.
More details of use case:
Currently iterating over stack maps is done like so, for example
in BCC tools offcputime script:
1. Obtain keys from the 'counts' hash map.
2. Look up stackmap with each of the keys obtained from step 1.
This makes the iteration of stackmap dependent on the counts map.
In a new tool I'm working on called BPFd [1], it gives a huge speed
up when I dump entire maps before transmitting them to BCC tools
on a different machine [2]. This patch makes it possible to dump
stackmaps independent of other maps.
Tested on x86 and arm64 machines.
