Yonghong Song 9f0c317f6a libbpf: Add support for new llvm bpf relocations
LLVM patch https://reviews.llvm.org/D102712
narrowed the scope of existing R_BPF_64_64
and R_BPF_64_32 relocations, and added three
new relocations, R_BPF_64_ABS64, R_BPF_64_ABS32
and R_BPF_64_NODYLD32. The main motivation is
to make relocations linker friendly.

This change, unfortunately, breaks libbpf build,
and we will see errors like below:
  libbpf: ELF relo #0 in section #6 has unexpected type 2 in
     /home/yhs/work/bpf-next/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/bpf_tcp_nogpl.o
  Error: failed to link
     '/home/yhs/work/bpf-next/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/bpf_tcp_nogpl.o':
     Unknown error -22 (-22)
The new relocation R_BPF_64_ABS64 is generated
and libbpf linker sanity check doesn't understand it.
Relocation section '.rel.struct_ops' at offset 0x1410 contains 1 entries:
    Offset             Info             Type               Symbol's Value  Symbol's Name
0000000000000018  0000000700000002 R_BPF_64_ABS64         0000000000000000 nogpltcp_init

Look at the selftests/bpf/bpf_tcp_nogpl.c,
  void BPF_STRUCT_OPS(nogpltcp_init, struct sock *sk)
  {
  }

  SEC(".struct_ops")
  struct tcp_congestion_ops bpf_nogpltcp = {
          .init           = (void *)nogpltcp_init,
          .name           = "bpf_nogpltcp",
  };
The new llvm relocation scheme categorizes 'nogpltcp_init' reference
as R_BPF_64_ABS64 instead of R_BPF_64_64 which is used to specify
ld_imm64 relocation in the new scheme.

Let us fix the linker sanity checking by including
R_BPF_64_ABS64 and R_BPF_64_ABS32. There is no need to
check R_BPF_64_NODYLD32 which is used for .BTF and .BTF.ext.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
