Subject: [PATCH bpf v2 2/2] selftests/bpf: Test linker rejects out-of-range relocation offset
Date: Sun, 14 Jun 2026 18:26:16 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260614092616.165337-3-sammiee5311@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260614092616.165337-1-sammiee5311@gmail.com>
Add regression coverage for libbpf static linker relocation offset checks.
Build a minimal ET_REL/EM_BPF object in memory with a 16-byte executable
section and one relocation against that section. Check that a valid
relocation offset is accepted and an offset outside the relocated section
is rejected with -EINVAL.
