samples/bpf: fix broken map lookup probe
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
[ Upstream commit d93a7cf ]

In the commit 7c4cd05 ("bpf: Fix syscall's stackmap lookup
potential deadlock"), a potential deadlock issue was addressed, which
resulted in *_map_lookup_elem not triggering BPF programs.
(prior to lookup, bpf_disable_instrumentation() is used)

To resolve the broken map lookup probe using "htab_map_lookup_elem",
this commit introduces an alternative approach. Instead, it utilize
"bpf_map_copy_value" and apply a filter specifically for the hash table
with map_type.
