The LLVM patch https://reviews.llvm.org/D72197 makes LLVM emit function call relocations within the same section. This includes a default .text section, which contains any BPF sub-programs. This wasn't the case before and so libbpf was able to get a way with slightly simpler handling of subprogram call relocations. This patch adds support for .text section relocations. It needs to ensure correct order of relocations, so does two passes: - first, relocate .text instructions, if there are any relocations in it; - then process all the other programs and copy over patched .text instructions for all sub-program calls. v1->v2: - break early once .text program is processed.

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.
