Thanks Jiri.
Great stuff and a major milestone!
I've applied Masami's and your patches to bpf-next.

But the above needs more work.
Currently test_progs -t kprobe_multi
takes 4 seconds on lockdep+debug kernel.
Mainly because of the above loop.

18.05% test_progs [kernel.kallsyms] [k]
kallsyms_expand_symbol.constprop.4
12.53% test_progs libc-2.28.so [.] _IO_vfscanf
6.31% test_progs [kernel.kallsyms] [k] number
4.66% test_progs [kernel.kallsyms] [k] format_decode
4.65% test_progs [kernel.kallsyms] [k] string_nocheck

Single test_skel_api() subtest takes almost a second.

A cache inside libbpf probably won't help.
Maybe introduce a bpf iterator for kallsyms?

On the kernel side kprobe_multi_resolve_syms() looks similarly inefficient.
I'm not sure whether it would be a bottle neck though.

Orthogonal to this issue please add a new stress test
to selftest/bpf that attaches to a lot of functions.
