LLVM patch https://reviews.llvm.org/D102712 narrowed the scope of existing R_BPF_64_64 and R_BPF_64_32 relocations, and added three new relocations, R_BPF_64_ABS64, R_BPF_64_ABS32 and R_BPF_64_NODYLD32. The main motivation is to make relocations linker friendly. This change, unfortunately, breaks libbpf build, and we will see errors like below: libbpf: ELF relo #0 in section #6 has unexpected type 2 in /home/yhs/work/bpf-next/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/bpf_tcp_nogpl.o Error: failed to link '/home/yhs/work/bpf-next/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/bpf_tcp_nogpl.o': Unknown error -22 (-22) The new relocation R_BPF_64_ABS64 is generated and libbpf linker sanity check doesn't understand it. Relocation section '.rel.struct_ops' at offset 0x1410 contains 1 entries: Offset Info Type Symbol's Value Symbol's Name 0000000000000018 0000000700000002 R_BPF_64_ABS64 0000000000000000 nogpltcp_init Look at the selftests/bpf/bpf_tcp_nogpl.c, void BPF_STRUCT_OPS(nogpltcp_init, struct sock *sk) { } SEC(".struct_ops") struct tcp_congestion_ops bpf_nogpltcp = { .init = (void *)nogpltcp_init, .name = "bpf_nogpltcp", }; The new llvm relocation scheme categorizes 'nogpltcp_init' reference as R_BPF_64_ABS64 instead of R_BPF_64_64 which is used to specify ld_imm64 relocation in the new scheme. Let us fix the linker sanity checking by including R_BPF_64_ABS64 and R_BPF_64_ABS32. There is no need to check R_BPF_64_NODYLD32 which is used for .BTF and .BTF.ext.

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.
