This patch collects name of maps in BPF object files and saves them into
'maps' field in 'struct bpf_object'. 'bpf_object__get_map_by_name' is
introduced to retrive fd and definitions of a map through its name.

It means that each map name is saved in section header string table?
According to elf format specification:
For an symbol table entry, the st_name field "holds an index
into the object file’s symbol string table, which holds the
character representations of the symbol names. If the value
is non-zero, it represents a string table index that gives
the symbol name. Otherwise, the symbol table entry has no
name."
And so called "object file’s symbol string table" is a
section in the object file which index is stored into
ehdr and be loaded during gelf_getehdr(), and its index
would be set to ehdr->e_shstrndx. So I think for each map
its name should be saved in that string table.
AFAIK there're two symbol string tables in a ELF file. One for
section headers (.shstrtab) and another for normal symbols (.strtab).
And ehdr->e_shstrndx is the index of section header string table so
your code assumes map names are saved in the section header string
table, right?
Thanks,
Namhyung
In case of gcc:
$ echo 'int func() {return 0;}' | gcc -x c -c -o ./temp.o -
$ readelf -h ./temp.o

Let's see what is section 8:
$ readelf -S ./temp.o
...
[ 8] .shstrtab STRTAB 0000000000000000 00000098

...
Yes, in this case it is .shstrtab.
However, this is what I found when using llvm:
$ echo 'int func() {return 0;}' | x86_64-oe-linux-clang -x c -c -o
./temp.o -

There are 10 section headers, starting at offset 0x288:
Section Headers:

This time it is strtab.
And here is the content of strtab:
$ readelf -p .strtab ./temp.o
String dump of section '.strtab':
[ 1] .text
[ 7] .comment
[ 10] .bss
[ 15] .note.GNU-stack
[ 25] .rela.eh_frame
[ 34] func
[ 39] .strtab
[ 41] .symtab
[ 49] .data
[ 4f] -
Note that I don't use BPF backend. This is a normal x86 compiling.
So seems it is the default behavior of LLVM.
Thank you.
