Clang patch [0] enables emitting relocatable generic ALU/ALU64 instructions (i.e, shifts and arithmetic operations), as well as generic load/store instructions. The former ones are already supported by libbpf as is. This patch adds further support for load/store instructions. Relocatable field offset is encoded in BPF instruction's 16-bit offset section and are adjusted by libbpf based on target kernel BTF. These Clang changes and corresponding libbpf changes allow for more succinct generated BPF code by encoding relocatable field reads as a single ST/LDX/STX instruction. It also enables relocatable access to BPF context. Previously, if context struct (e.g., __sk_buff) was accessed with CO-RE relocations (e.g., due to preserve_access_index attribute), it would be rejected by BPF verifier due to modified context pointer dereference. With Clang patch, such context accesses are both relocatable and have a fixed offset from the point of view of BPF verifier.
