Andrii Nakryiko 492ab0205f libbpf: Make bpf_map order and indices stable
Currently, libbpf re-sorts bpf_map structs after all the maps are added and
initialized, which might change their relative order and invalidate any
bpf_map pointer or index taken before that. This is inconvenient and
error-prone. For instance, it can cause .kconfig map index to point to a wrong
map.

Furthermore, libbpf itself doesn't rely on any specific ordering of bpf_maps,
so it's just an unnecessary complication right now. This patch drops sorting
of maps and makes their relative positions fixed. If efficient index is ever
needed, it's better to have a separate array of pointers as a search index,
instead of reordering bpf_map struct in-place. This will be less error-prone
and will allow multiple independent orderings, if necessary (e.g., either by
section index or by name).

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
