bpftool uses hexadecimal values when it dumps map contents:
# bpftool map dump id 1337
key: ff 13 37 ff value: a1 b2 c3 d4 ff ff ff ff
Found 1 element
In order to lookup or update values with bpftool, the natural reflex is
then to copy and paste the values to the command line, and to try to run
something like:
# bpftool map update id 1337 key ff 13 37 ff \
value 00 00 00 00 00 00 1a 2b
Error: error parsing byte: ff
bpftool complains, because it uses strtoul() with a 0 base to parse the
bytes, and that without a "0x" prefix, the bytes are considered as
decimal values (or even octal if they start with "0").
To feed hexadecimal values instead, one needs to add "0x" prefixes
everywhere necessary:
# bpftool map update id 1337 key 0xff 0x13 0x37 0xff \
value 0 0 0 0 0 0 0x1a 0x2b
To make it easier to use hexadecimal values, add an optional "hex"
keyword to put after "key" or "value" to tell bpftool to consider the
digits as hexadecimal. We can now do:
# bpftool map update id 1337 key hex ff 13 37 ff \
value hex 0 0 0 0 0 0 1a 2b
Without the "hex" keyword, the bytes are still parsed according to
normal integer notation (decimal if no prefix, or hexadecimal or octal
if "0x" or "0" prefix is used, respectively).
The patch also add related documentation and bash completion for the
"hex" keyword.

Specify in the documentation that when using bpftool to update a map of
type BPF_MAP_TYPE_PROG_ARRAY, the syntax for the program used as a value
should use the "id|tag|pinned" keywords convention, as used with
"bpftool prog" commands.

iproute2 seems to accept show and list as aliases.
Let's do the same thing, and by allowing both bring
cgroup syntax back in line with maps and progs.

This patch adds basic cgroup bpf operations to bpftool:
cgroup list, attach and detach commands.
Usage is described in the corresponding man pages,
and examples are provided.
Syntax:
$ bpftool cgroup list CGROUP
$ bpftool cgroup attach CGROUP ATTACH_TYPE PROG [ATTACH_FLAGS]
$ bpftool cgroup detach CGROUP ATTACH_TYPE PROG

Update the documentation to provide help about JSON output generation,
and add an example in bpftool-prog manual page.
Also reintroduce an example that was left aside when the tool was moved
from GitHub to the kernel sources, in order to show how to mount the
bpffs file system (to pin programs) inside the bpftool-prog manual page.
