Thanks! But you mean you want something like this, correct?

# ./bpftool prog pin \
name prog_with_a_very_long_name /sys/fs/bpf/foo

This is already possible since commit d55dfe587bc0 ("bpftool: Remove
BPF_OBJ_NAME_LEN restriction when looking up bpf program by name"). Your
first version of the patch was based on a version that didn't have this
commit, but bpftool from bpf-next already supports this.
