Alexei Starovoitov fbd94c7afc bpf: Pass a set of bpf_core_relo-s to prog_load command.
struct bpf_core_relo is generated by llvm and processed by libbpf.
It's a de-facto uapi.
With CO-RE in the kernel the struct bpf_core_relo becomes uapi de-jure.
Add an ability to pass a set of 'struct bpf_core_relo' to prog_load command
and let the kernel perform CO-RE relocations.

Note the struct bpf_line_info and struct bpf_func_info have the same
layout when passed from LLVM to libbpf and from libbpf to the kernel
except "insn_off" fields means "byte offset" when LLVM generates it.
Then libbpf converts it to "insn index" to pass to the kernel.
The struct bpf_core_relo's "insn_off" field is always "byte offset".

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.
