Hi Cuper.

> Hi everyone,

> For the time being the linker is not used in BPF infrastructure.
> Considering that and without a proper way to validate the code, the
> following patch is what I think is missing in order to add linker

> This patch adds linker support to patch R_BPF_64_NODYLD32 relocations.
> The implementation was based on comments and code in LLVM, as the GNU
> toolchain does not uses this relocation type.

I would add here a comment explaining that R_BPF_64_NODYLD32 shall be
handled/resolved like R_BPF_64_ABS32 and that it differs from ABS32 only
in that the LLVM execution engine is not supposed to resolve it.

Given that, the patch is OK.
Thanks!
