Split the instruction patching logic into relocation value calculation and application of relocation to instruction. Using this, evaluate relocation against each matching candidate and validate that all candidates agree on relocated value. If not, report ambiguity and fail load. This logic is necessary to avoid dangerous (however unlikely) accidental match against two incompatible candidate types. Without this change, libbpf will pick a random type as *the* candidate and apply potentially invalid 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.
