tools/resolve_btfids: Fix sections with wrong alignment
The data of compressed section should be aligned to 4
(for 32bit) or 8 (for 64 bit) bytes.
The binutils ld sets sh_addralign to 1, which makes libelf
fail with misaligned section error during the update as
reported by Jesper:
FAILED elf_update(WRITE): invalid section alignment
While waiting for ld fix, we can fix compressed sections
sh_addralign value manually.
Adding warning in -vv mode when the fix is triggered:
$ ./tools/bpf/resolve_btfids/resolve_btfids -vv vmlinux

update ok for vmlinux
Another workaround is to disable compressed debug info data
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_COMPRESSED kernel option.
