[PATCH bpf-next v2] bpftool: Dump map id instead of value for map_of_maps types

From: Xueming Feng
Date: Mon Apr 24 2023 - 05:10:26 EST


When using `bpftool map dump` in plain format, it is usually
more convenient to show the inner map id instead of raw value.
Changing this behavior would help with quick debugging with
`bpftool`, without disrupting scripted behavior. Since user
could dump the inner map with id, and need to convert value.

Changes in v2:
- Fix commit message grammar.
- Change `print_uint` to only print to stdout, make `arg` const, and rename
`n` to `arg_size`.
- Make `print_uint` able to take any size of argument up to `unsigned long`,
and print it as unsigned decimal.

Thanks for the review and suggestions! I have changed my patch accordingly.
There is a possibility that `arg_size` is larger than `unsigned long`,
but previous review suggested that it should be up to the caller function to
set `arg_size` correctly. So I didn't add check for that, should I?
