Ok, this looks great. I think I found a few residual problems, so
please see comments below and address them. But I'm inclined to land
this patch set as is because it's in a good shape already, and it is
pretty, so it's hard and time-consuming to weed through minor (at this
point) changes between versions. So please send follow-up patch(es)
with fixes. Hopefully soon enough before the libbpf release. Thanks a
lot for working on this and persevering, this is a great API!

I'll apply a patch set to bpf-next when it will open up for new patches. Thanks.

I also wanted to call out this ^^ versus:

a) initial kernel-sharing version:

> 18 files changed, 3236 insertions(+), 1319 deletions(-)

b) initial libbpf-only version:

> 6 files changed, 1251 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-)

And the API actually gained in supported features and correctness.

I suspect this logic breaks for multi-dimensional char arrays. Please
check and add follow-up tests and fixes, no need to address that in
this patch set, you've suffered enough.

ah, ok, I see. I sort of randomly stumbled on this from a purely
aesthetic reasons, but I'm happy we clarified this because it's
completely non-obvious

Wait, you fixed pointer zero checking logic and misaligned reads for
ints/floats, but none of that for actually printing pointers?...
Please send a follow-up fix.

nit: probably worth a small helper with obvious name to avoid extra
comments and all those ((()))

same here, this might be too aggressive for something like char a[2][10] ?

why not propagating error here?

this is broken on big-endian, no? Basically almost always it will be
printing either 0, -1 or 0xffffffff?..

just realized this doesn't have to be calloc()'ed, it can be on the
stack zero-initialized variable; feel free to switch in the follow up
as well

then we won't need to handle this at all
