I'm also working on improving bpf.c. Please have a look at:

Since bpf.c is simple, I think we can add more functions and fixes
gradually, instead of a full copy.
See my inline comment below.
Ah, I missed this, my apologies. It looks like it will provide much of
what I need, I can reassess this patch with your series in mind.
One comment though for your patch (I don't have the original thread to
respond to unfortunately): The map_pin and map_get functions in your
patch series can be used to pin progs too, so maybe there is a better
name? You'll see that this patch uses bpf_obj_{pin,get}() - although I
wouldn't want those to be confused with the libbpf.c objects so maybe
there's a clearer name that could be used.
I also have some patches to rework the samples/bpf/* code to use
libbpf instead of the sample code that is there, is it worth me
submitting that? It will need to wait for your patch to go in, plus a
merge with davem's tree.
I'm happy to see you are trying to replace samples/bpf 's own
libbpf with tools/lib/bpf. I think you can submit your work
on libbpf and patches on samples together if they are ready.
Arnaldo can pick up patches good for him, and you can improve
other patches based on his newest branch.
Thank you.
