[BPF] Don't fail for static variables
Currently, the LLVM will print an error like
Unsupported relocation: try to compile with -O2 or above,
or check your static variable usage
if user defines more than one static variables in a single
ELF section (e.g., .bss or .data).
There is ongoing effort to support static and global
variables in libbpf and kernel. This patch removed the
assertion so user programs with static variables won't
fail compilation.
The static variable in-section offset is written to
the "imm" field of the corresponding to-be-relocated
bpf instruction. Below is an example to show how the
application (e.g., libbpf) can relate variable to relocations.
-bash-4.4$ cat g1.c
static volatile long a = 2;
static volatile int b = 3;
int test() { return a + b; }
-bash-4.4$ clang -target bpf -O2 -c g1.c
-bash-4.4$ llvm-readelf -r g1.o
Relocation section '.rel.text' at offset 0x158 contains 2 entries:
Offset Info Type Symbol's Value Symbol's Name
0000000000000000 0000000400000001 R_BPF_64_64

0000000000000000 .data
-bash-4.4$ llvm-readelf -s g1.o
Symbol table '.symtab' contains 6 entries:
Num: Value Size Type Bind Vis Ndx Name

-bash-4.4$ llvm-objdump -d g1.o

Disassembly of section .text:

6: 0f 10 00 00 00 00 00 00 r0 += r1

-bash-4.4$
. from symbol table, static variable "a" is in section #4, offset 0.
. from symbol table, static variable "b" is in section #4, offset 8.
. the first relocation is against symbol #4:
4:
0000000000000000 0 SECTION LOCAL DEFAULT 4
and in-section offset 0 (see llvm-objdump result)
. the second relocation is against symbol #4:
4:
0000000000000000 0 SECTION LOCAL DEFAULT 4
and in-section offset 8 (see llvm-objdump result)
. therefore, the first relocation is for variable "a", and
the second relocation is for variable "b".
