From: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>

v1->v2:
. Refactor uapi to pass 'struct bpf_core_relo' from LLVM into libbpf and further
into the kernel instead of bpf_core_apply_relo() bpf helper. Because of this
change the CO-RE algorithm has an ability to log error and debug events through
the standard bpf verifer log mechanism which was not possible with helper
approach.
. #define RELO_CORE macro was removed and replaced with btf_member_bit_offset() patch.

This set introduces CO-RE support in the kernel.
There are several reasons to add such support:
1. It's a step toward signed BPF programs.
2. It allows golang like languages that struggle to adopt libbpf
   to take advantage of CO-RE powers.
3. Currently the field accessed by 'ldx [R1 + 10]' insn is recognized
   by the verifier purely based on +10 offset. If R1 points to a union
   the verifier picks one of the fields at this offset.
   With CO-RE the kernel can disambiguate the field access.

Alexei Starovoitov (12):
  libbpf: s/btf__type_by_id/btf_type_by_id/.
  bpf: Rename btf_member accessors.
  bpf: Prepare relo_core.c for kernel duty.
  bpf: Define enum bpf_core_relo_kind as uapi.
  bpf: Pass a set of bpf_core_relo-s to prog_load command.
  bpf: Add bpf_core_add_cands() and wire it into
    bpf_core_apply_relo_insn().
  libbpf: Use CO-RE in the kernel in light skeleton.
  libbpf: Support init of inner maps in light skeleton.
  selftests/bpf: Convert kfunc test with CO-RE to lskel.
  selftests/bpf: Improve inner_map test coverage.
  selftests/bpf: Convert map_ptr_kern test to use light skeleton.
  selftests/bpf: Additional test for CO-RE in the kernel.
