[RFC PATCH v9 13/50] bpf tools: Collect relocation sections from SHT_REL sections

From: Wang Nan
Date: Fri Jun 26 2015 - 10:29:56 EST


This patch collects relocation sections into 'struct object'.
Such sections are used for connecting maps to bpf programs.
'reloc' field in 'struct bpf_object' is introduced for storing
such information.

This patch simply store the data into 'reloc' field. Following
patch will parse them to know the exact instructions which are
needed to be relocated.

Note that the collected data will be invalid after ELF object file
is closed.
