[clang][BPF] support type exist/size and enum exist/value relocations
This patch added the following additional compile-once run-everywhere (CO-RE) relocations: - existence/size of typedef, struct/union or enum type - enum value and enum value existence These additional relocations will make CO-RE bpf programs more adaptive for potential kernel internal data structure changes. For existence/size relocations, the following two code patterns are supported: 1. uint32_t __builtin_preserve_type_info(*(<type> *)0, flag); 2. <type> var; uint32_t __builtin_preserve_field_info(var, flag); flag = 0 for existence relocation and flag = 1 for size relocation. For enum value existence and enum value relocations, the following code pattern is supported: uint64_t __builtin_preserve_enum_value(*(<enum_type> *)<enum_value>, flag); flag = 0 means existence relocation and flag = 1 for enum value. relocation. In the above <enum_type> can be an enum type or a typedef to enum type. The <enum_value> needs to be an enumerator value from the same enum type. The return type is uint64_t to permit potential 64bit enumerator values. Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D83242
