bpf: emit map name in register state if applicable and available

Browse source

In complicated real-world applications, whenever debugging some
verification error through verifier log, it often would be very useful
to see map name for PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE register. Usually this needs to be
inferred from key/value sizes and maybe trying to guess C code location,
but it's not always clear.

Given verifier has the name, and it's never too long, let's just emit it
for ptr_to_map_key, ptr_to_map_value, and const_ptr_to_map registers. We
reshuffle the order a bit, so that map name, key size, and value size
appear before offset and immediate values, which seems like a more
logical order.

Current output:

  R1_w=map_ptr(map=array_map,ks=4,vs=8,off=0,imm=0)

But we'll get rid of useless off=0 and imm=0 parts in the next patch.
