Hi IOvisor/eBPF people,

Do we have some documentation on eBPF maps?

Like that map types are available, and what they are useful for?

Notice, just list listing[1] the enum is not so useful:

enum bpf_map_type {
BPF_MAP_TYPE_UNSPEC,
BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH,
BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY,
BPF_MAP_TYPE_PROG_ARRAY,
BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY,
BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERCPU_HASH,
BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERCPU_ARRAY,
BPF_MAP_TYPE_STACK_TRACE,
BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_ARRAY,
BPF_MAP_TYPE_LRU_HASH,
BPF_MAP_TYPE_LRU_PERCPU_HASH,
};

I also lack some documentation about how I interact with these maps...
