This patch adds support for the proposed type match relation to
relo_core where it is shared between userspace and kernel. It plumbs
through both kernel-side and libbpf-side support.
The matching relation is defined as follows (copy from source):
- modifiers and typedefs are stripped (and, hence, effectively ignored)
- generally speaking types need to be of same kind (struct vs. struct, union
vs. union, etc.)
- exceptions are struct/union behind a pointer which could also match a
forward declaration of a struct or union, respectively, and enum vs.
enum64 (see below)
Then, depending on type:
- integers:
- match if size and signedness match
- arrays & pointers:
- target types are recursively matched
- structs & unions:
- local members need to exist in target with the same name
- for each member we recursively check match unless it is already behind a
pointer, in which case we only check matching names and compatible kind
- enums:
- local variants have to have a match in target by symbolic name (but not
numeric value)
- size has to match (but enum may match enum64 and vice versa)
- function pointers:
- number and position of arguments in local type has to match target
- for each argument and the return value we recursively check match
