Merge branch 'compile-once-run-everywhere'

Andrii Nakryiko says:

====================
This patch set implements central part of CO-RE (Compile Once - Run
Everywhere, see [0] and [1] for slides and video): relocating fields offsets.
Most of the details are written down as comments to corresponding parts of the
code.

Patch #1 adds a bunch of commonly useful btf_xxx helpers to simplify working
with BTF types.
Patch #2 converts existing libbpf code to these new helpers and removes some
of pre-existing ones.
Patch #3 adds loading of .BTF.ext offset relocations section and macros to
work with its contents.
Patch #4 implements CO-RE relocations algorithm in libbpf.
Patch #5 introduced BPF_CORE_READ macro, hiding usage of Clang's
__builtin_preserve_access_index intrinsic that records offset relocation.
Patches #6-#14 adds selftests validating various parts of relocation handling,
type compatibility, etc.

For all tests to work, you'll need latest Clang/LLVM supporting
__builtin_preserve_access_index intrinsic, used for recording offset
relocations. Kernel on which selftests run should have BTF information built
in (CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y).

v5->v6:
- fix bad comment formatting for real (Alexei);

v4->v5:
- drop constness for btf_xxx() helpers, allowing to avoid type casts (Alexei);
- rebase on latest bpf-next, change test__printf back to printf;

v3->v4:
- added btf_xxx helpers (Alexei);
- switched libbpf code to new helpers;
- reduced amount of logging and simplified format in few places (Alexei);
- made flavor name parsing logic more strict (exactly three underscores);
- no uname() error checking (Alexei);
- updated misc tests to reflect latest Clang fixes (Yonghong);

v2->v3:
- enclose BPF_CORE_READ args in parens (Song);

v1->v2:
- add offsetofend(), fix btf_ext optional fields checks (Song);
- add bpf_core_dump_spec() for logging spec representation;
- move special first element processing out of the loop (Song);
- typo fixes (Song);
- drop BPF_ST | BPF_MEM insn relocation (Alexei);
- extracted BPF_CORE_READ into bpf_helpers (Alexei);
- added extra tests validating Clang capturing relocs correctly (Yonghong);
- switch core_relocs.c to use sub-tests;
- updated mods tests after Clang bug was fixed (Yonghong);
- fix bug enumerating candidate types;
