Fixes missing inner map struct type definitions [^1]. We should visit
the type of nested array of maps like we do for global maps. This patch
adds a boolean to convey the information to visitTypeEntry and
visitDerivedType that the pointee is a map definition and should be
treated as such.
It ressembles and works with commit 0d21c956a5c1 ("[BPF] Handle nested
wrapper structs in BPF map definition traversal (#144097)") which
focused on directly nested wrapper structs.
Before that patch, this ARRAY_OF_MAPS definition would lead to the BTF
information include the 'missing_type' as "FWD 'missing_type'
fwd_kind=struct":
struct missing_type { uint64_t foo; };
struct {
__uint(type, BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY_OF_MAPS);
[...]
__array(
values, struct {
[...]
__type(value, struct missing_type);
});
} map SEC(".maps");
Which lead to errors while trying to load the map:
libbpf: map 'outer_map.inner': can't determine value size for type [N]:
-22.
To solve this issue, users had to use the struct in a dummy variable or
in a dummy function for the BTF to be generated correctly [^2].
