Subject: libbpf: Turn relo_core->sym_off unsigned
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0aa721437e4b74d737f58582f1bbf2eea3e038c7;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

libbpf: Turn relo_core->sym_off unsigned

The symbols' relocation offsets in BPF are stored in an int field,
but cannot actually be negative. When in the next patch libbpf relocates
globals to the end of the arena, it is also possible to have valid
offsets > 2GiB that are used to calculate the final relo offsets.
Avoid accidentally interpreting large offsets as negative by turning
the sym_off field unsigned.
