[PATCHv3 perf/core 2/6] tools lib bpf: Add bpf_map__pin()

From: Joe Stringer
Date: Thu Jan 26 2017 - 16:20:24 EST


Add a new API to pin a BPF map to the filesystem. The user can
specify the path full path within a BPF filesystem to pin the map.

Signed-off-by: Joe Stringer <joe@xxxxxxx>
---
v3: No change.
v2: Don't automount BPF filesystem
Split program, map, object pinning into separate APIs and separate
patches.
