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.
