Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi 585a357198 libbpf: Add weak ksym support to gen_loader
This extends existing ksym relocation code to also support relocating
weak ksyms. Care needs to be taken to zero out the src_reg (currently
BPF_PSEUOD_BTF_ID, always set for gen_loader by bpf_object__relocate_data)
when the BTF ID lookup fails at runtime.  This is not a problem for
libbpf as it only sets ext->is_set when BTF ID lookup succeeds (and only
proceeds in case of failure if ext->is_weak, leading to src_reg
remaining as 0 for weak unresolved ksym).

A pattern similar to emit_relo_kfunc_btf is followed of first storing
the default values and then jumping over actual stores in case of an
error. For src_reg adjustment, we also need to perform it when copying
the populated instruction, so depending on if copied insn[0].imm is 0 or
not, we decide to jump over the adjustment.

We cannot reach that point unless the ksym was weak and resolved and
zeroed out, as the emit_check_err will cause us to jump to cleanup
label, so we do not need to recheck whether the ksym is weak before
doing the adjustment after copying BTF ID and BTF FD.

This is consistent with how libbpf relocates weak ksym. Logging
statements are added to show the relocation result and aid debugging.

README

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.
