Andrii Nakryiko 1f8e2bcb2c libbpf: Refactor relocation handling
Relocation handling code is convoluted and unnecessarily deeply nested. Split
out per-relocation logic into separate function. Also refactor the logic to be
more a sequence of per-relocation type checks and processing steps, making it
simpler to follow control flow. This makes it easier to further extends it to
new kinds of relocations (e.g., support for extern variables).

This patch also makes relocation's section verification more robust.
Previously relocations against not yet supported externs were silently ignored
because of obj->efile.text_shndx was zero, when all BPF programs had custom
section names and there was no .text section. Also, invalid LDIMM64 relocations
against non-map sections were passed through, if they were pointing to a .text
section (or 0, which is invalid section). All these bugs are fixed within this
refactoring and checks are made more appropriate for each type of relocation.

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.
