Daniel Borkmann says: ==================== pull-request: bpf-next 2020-07-04 The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree. We've added 73 non-merge commits during the last 17 day(s) which contain a total of 106 files changed, 5233 insertions(+), 1283 deletions(-). The main changes are: 1) bpftool ability to show PIDs of processes having open file descriptors for BPF map/program/link/BTF objects, relying on BPF iterator progs to extract this info efficiently, from Andrii Nakryiko. 2) Addition of BPF iterator progs for dumping TCP and UDP sockets to seq_files, from Yonghong Song. 3) Support access to BPF map fields in struct bpf_map from programs through BTF struct access, from Andrey Ignatov. 4) Add a bpf_get_task_stack() helper to be able to dump /proc/*/stack via seq_file from BPF iterator progs, from Song Liu. 5) Make SO_KEEPALIVE and related options available to bpf_setsockopt() helper, from Dmitry Yakunin. 6) Optimize BPF sk_storage selection of its caching index, from Martin KaFai Lau. 7) Removal of redundant synchronize_rcu()s from BPF map destruction which has been a historic leftover, from Alexei Starovoitov. 8) Several improvements to test_progs to make it easier to create a shell loop that invokes each test individually which is useful for some CIs, from Jesper Dangaard Brouer. 9) Fix bpftool prog dump segfault when compiled without skeleton code on older clang versions, from John Fastabend. 10) Bunch of cleanups and minor improvements, from various others. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Output will start with map ID followed by map type and
zero or more named attributes (depending on kernel version).
+ Since Linux 5.8 bpftool is able to discover information about
+ processes that hold open file descriptors (FDs) against BPF
+ maps. On such kernels bpftool will automatically emit this
+ information as well.
