Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v5 3/3] libbpf: Use mmap to parse vmlinux BTF from
sysfs
Teach libbpf to use mmap when parsing vmlinux BTF from /sys. We don't
apply this to fall-back paths on the regular file system because there
is no way to ensure that modifications underlying the MAP_PRIVATE
mapping are not visible to the process.
