Introduce the map read/write flags to the eBPF syscalls that returns the map fd. The flags is used to set up the file mode when construct a new file descriptor for bpf maps. To not break the backward capability, the f_flags is set to O_RDWR if the flag passed by syscall is 0. Otherwise it should be O_RDONLY or O_WRONLY. When the userspace want to modify or read the map content, it will check the file mode to see if it is allowed to make the change.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
