Currently, many 'BPF_MAP_CREATE' failures return '-EINVAL' without providing any explanation to user space. With the extended BPF syscall support, detailed error messages can now be reported. This allows users to understand the specific reason for a failed map creation, rather than just receiving a generic '-EINVAL'.
