BPF tail call uses the BPF_MAP_TYPE_PROG_ARRAY type map for calling into other BPF programs and this PROG_ARRAY should be filled prior to use. Currently, samples with the PROG_ARRAY type MAP fill this program array with bpf_load. For bpf_load to fill this map, kernel BPF program must specify the section with specific format of <prog_type>/<array_idx> (e.g. SEC("socket/0")) But by using libbpf instead of bpf_load, user program can specify which programs should be added to PROG_ARRAY. The advantage of this approach is that you can selectively add only the programs you want, rather than adding all of them to PROG_ARRAY, and it's much more intuitive than the traditional approach. This commit refactors user programs with the PROG_ARRAY type MAP with libbpf instead of using bpf_load. Signed-off-by: Daniel T.
