Previously, if libbpf failed to resolve CO-RE relocation for some instructions, it would either return error immediately, or, if .relaxed_core_relocs option was set, would replace relocatable offset/imm part of an instruction with a bogus value (-1). Neither approach is good, because there are many possible scenarios where relocation is expected to fail (e.g., when some field knowingly can be missing on specific kernel versions). On the other hand, replacing offset with invalid one can hide programmer errors, if this relocation failue wasn't anticipated. This patch deprecates .relaxed_core_relocs option and changes the approach to always replacing instruction, for which relocation failed, with invalid BPF helper call instruction. For cases where this is expected, BPF program should already ensure that that instruction is unreachable, in which case this invalid instruction is going to be silently ignored. But if instruction wasn't guarded, BPF program will be rejected at verification step with verifier log pointing precisely to the place in assembly where the problem is.

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.
