[PATCH bpf-next v2] libbpf: Expose libbpf ringbufer epoll_fd

From: Brendan Jackman
Date: Mon Dec 14 2020 - 06:39:20 EST


This provides a convenient perf ringbuf -> libbpf ringbuf migration
path for users of external polling systems. It is analogous to
perf_buffer__epoll_fd.

Difference from v1: Added entry to libbpf.map.
