Merge branch 'libbpf: auto-resize relocatable LOAD/STORE instructions'
Andrii Nakryiko says:
====================
Patch set implements logic in libbpf to auto-adjust memory size (1-, 2-, 4-,
8-bytes) of load/store (LD/ST/STX) instructions which have BPF CO-RE field
offset relocation associated with it. In practice this means transparent
handling of 32-bit kernels, both pointer and unsigned integers. Signed
integers are not relocatable with zero-extending loads/stores, so libbpf
poisons them and generates a warning. If/when BPF gets support for
sign-extending loads/stores, it would be possible to automatically relocate
them as well.
All the details are contained in patch #2 comments and commit message.
Patch #3 is a simple change in libbpf to make advanced testing with custom BTF
easier. Patch #4 validates correct uses of auto-resizable loads, as well as
check that libbpf fails invalid uses. Patch #1 skips CO-RE relocation for
programs that had bpf_program__set_autoload(prog, false) set on them, reducing
warnings and noise.
v2->v3:
- fix copyright (Alexei);
v1->v2:
- more consistent names for instruction mem size convertion routines (Alexei);
- extended selftests to use relocatable STX instructions (Alexei);
- added a fix for skipping CO-RE relocation for non-loadable programs.
