Andrii Nakryiko 9173cac3b6 libbpf: Support .text sub-calls relocations
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.

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.
