BTFGen needs to run the core relocation logic in order to understand what are the types involved in a given relocation. Currently bpf_core_apply_relo() calculates and **applies** a relocation to an instruction. Having both operations in the same function makes it difficult to only calculate the relocation without patching the instruction. This commit splits that logic in two different phases: (1) calculate the relocation and (2) patch the instruction. For the first phase bpf_core_apply_relo() is renamed to bpf_core_calc_relo_insn() who is now only on charge of calculating the relocation, the second phase uses the already existing bpf_core_patch_insn(). bpf_object__relocate_core() uses both of them and the BTFGen will use only bpf_core_calc_relo_insn().

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.
