libbpf: Support multiple .rodata.* and .data.* BPF maps
Add support for having multiple .rodata and .data data sections ([0]). .rodata/.data are supported like the usual, but now also .rodata.<whatever> and .data.<whatever> are also supported. Each such section will get its own backing BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY, just like .rodata and .data. Multiple .bss maps are not supported, as the whole '.bss' name is confusing and might be deprecated soon, as well as user would need to specify custom ELF section with SEC() attribute anyway, so might as well stick to just .data.* and .rodata.* convention. User-visible map name for such new maps is going to be just their ELF section names.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
