commit 451d1dc886 upstream.
Since, the new syntax of BTF-defined map has been introduced,
the syntax for using maps under samples directory are mixed up.
For example, some are already using the new syntax, and some are using
existing syntax by calling them as 'legacy'.
As stated at commit abd29c9314 ("libbpf: allow specifying map
definitions using BTF"), the BTF-defined map has more compatablility
with extending supported map definition features.
The commit doesn't replace all of the map to new BTF-defined map,
because some of the samples still use bpf_load instead of libbpf, which
can't properly create BTF-defined map.
This will only updates the samples which uses libbpf API for loading bpf
program. (ex. bpf_prog_load_xattr)

XDP_TX requires also changing the MAC-addrs, else some hardware
may drop the TX packet before reaching the wire. This was
observed with driver mlx5.
If xdp_rxq_info select --action XDP_TX the swapmac functionality
is activated. It is also possible to manually enable via cmdline
option --swapmac. This is practical if wanting to measure the
overhead of writing/updating payload for other action types.

There is a cost associated with reading the packet data payload
that this test ignored. Add option --read to allow enabling
reading part of the payload.
This sample/tool helps us analyse an issue observed with a NIC
mlx5 (ConnectX-5 Ex) and an Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-1650 v4.

When not touching data, we observe that the CPUs have idle cycles.
When reading data the CPUs are 100% busy in softirq.

The effect seen above is a result of cache-misses occuring when
more RXQs are being used. Based on perf-event observations, our
conclusion is that the CPUs DDIO (Direct Data I/O) choose to
deliver packet into main memory, instead of L3-cache. We also
found, that this can be mitigated by either using less RXQs or by
reducing NICs the RX-ring size.

This sample program can be used for monitoring and reporting how many
packets per sec (pps) are received per NIC RX queue index and which
CPU processed the packet. In itself it is a useful tool for quickly
identifying RSS imbalance issues, see below.
The default XDP action is XDP_PASS in-order to provide a monitor
mode. For benchmarking purposes it is possible to specify other XDP
actions on the cmdline --action.
Output below shows an imbalance RSS case where most RXQ's deliver to
CPU-0 while CPU-2 only get packets from a single RXQ. Looking at
things from a CPU level the two CPUs are processing approx the same
amount, BUT looking at the rx_queue_index levels it is clear that
RXQ-2 receive much better service, than other RXQs which all share CPU-0.
