This map is created by libbpf implicitly from global variables used by
BPF object. You just look it up by name, set its value to whatever you
need global variables to be set up to, and that value will be
available to BPF program. From BPF program side, when you update
global variable, that value can be read from user space using that
same test_rdo.bss map. Does it make sense?
