+
+=================
+CO-RE Relocations
+=================
+
+From object file point of view CO-RE mechanism is implemented as a set
+of CO-RE specific relocation records. These relocation records are not
+related to ELF relocations and are encoded in .BTF.ext section.
+See :ref:`Documentation/bpf/btf.rst <BTF_Ext_Section>` for more
+information on .BTF.ext structure.
+
+CO-RE relocations are applied to BPF instructions to update immediate
+or offset fields of the instruction at load time with information
+relevant for target kernel.
+
+Field to patch is selected basing on the instruction class:
+
+* For BPF_ALU, BPF_ALU64, BPF_LD `immediate` field is patched;
+* For BPF_LDX, BPF_STX, BPF_ST `offset` field is patched;
+* BPF_JMP, BPF_JMP32 instructions **should not** be patched.
+
+Relocation kinds
+================
+
+There are several kinds of CO-RE relocations that could be split in
+three groups:
+
+* Field-based - patch instruction with field related information, e.g.
+ change offset field of the BPF_LDX instruction to reflect offset
+ of a specific structure field in the target kernel.
+
+* Type-based - patch instruction with type related information, e.g.
+ change immediate field of the BPF_ALU move instruction to 0 or 1 to
+ reflect if specific type is present in the target kernel.
+
+* Enum-based - patch instruction with enum related information, e.g.
+ change immediate field of the BPF_LD_IMM64 instruction to reflect
+ value of a specific enum literal in the target kernel.
+
+The complete list of relocation kinds is represented by the following enum:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ enum bpf_core_relo_kind {
+ BPF_CORE_FIELD_BYTE_OFFSET = 0, /* field byte offset */
+ BPF_CORE_FIELD_BYTE_SIZE = 1, /* field size in bytes */
+ BPF_CORE_FIELD_EXISTS = 2, /* field existence in target kernel */
+ BPF_CORE_FIELD_SIGNED = 3, /* field signedness (0 - unsigned, 1 - signed) */
+ BPF_CORE_FIELD_LSHIFT_U64 = 4, /* bitfield-specific left bitshift */
+ BPF_CORE_FIELD_RSHIFT_U64 = 5, /* bitfield-specific right bitshift */
+ BPF_CORE_TYPE_ID_LOCAL = 6, /* type ID in local BPF object */
+ BPF_CORE_TYPE_ID_TARGET = 7, /* type ID in target kernel */
+ BPF_CORE_TYPE_EXISTS = 8, /* type existence in target kernel */
+ BPF_CORE_TYPE_SIZE = 9, /* type size in bytes */
+ BPF_CORE_ENUMVAL_EXISTS = 10, /* enum value existence in target kernel */
+ BPF_CORE_ENUMVAL_VALUE = 11, /* enum value integer value */
+ BPF_CORE_TYPE_MATCHES = 12, /* type match in target kernel */
+ };
+
+Notes:
+
+* ``BPF_CORE_FIELD_LSHIFT_U64`` and ``BPF_CORE_FIELD_RSHIFT_U64`` are
+ supposed to be used to read bitfield values using the following
+ algorithm:
+
+ .. code-block:: c
+
+ // To read bitfield ``f`` from ``struct s``
+ is_signed = relo(s->f, BPF_CORE_FIELD_SIGNED)
+ off = relo(s->f, BPF_CORE_FIELD_BYTE_OFFSET)
+ sz = relo(s->f, BPF_CORE_FIELD_BYTE_SIZE)
+ l = relo(s->f, BPF_CORE_FIELD_LSHIFT_U64)
+ r = relo(s->f, BPF_CORE_FIELD_RSHIFT_U64)
+ // define ``v`` as signed or unsigned integer of size ``sz``
+ v = *({s|u}<sz> *)((void *)s + off)
+ v <<= l
+ v >>= r
+
+* The ``BPF_CORE_TYPE_MATCHES`` queries matching relation, defined as
+ follows:
+
+ * for integers: types match if size and signedness match;
+ * for arrays & pointers: target types are recursively matched;
+ * for structs & unions:
+
+ * local members need to exist in target with the same name;
+
+ * for each member we recursively check match unless it is already behind a
+ pointer, in which case we only check matching names and compatible kind;
+
+ * for enums:
+
+ * local variants have to have a match in target by symbolic name (but not
+ numeric value);
+
+ * size has to match (but enum may match enum64 and vice versa);
+
+ * for function pointers:
+
+ * number and position of arguments in local type has to match target;
+ * for each argument and the return value we recursively check match.
+
+CO-RE Relocation Record
+=======================
+
+Relocation record is encoded as the following structure:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct bpf_core_relo {
+ __u32 insn_off;
+ __u32 type_id;
+ __u32 access_str_off;
+ enum bpf_core_relo_kind kind;
+ };
+
+* ``insn_off`` - instruction offset (in bytes) within a code section
+ associated with this relocation;
+
+* ``type_id`` - BTF type ID of the "root" (containing) entity of a
+ relocatable type or field;
+
+* ``access_str_off`` - offset into corresponding .BTF string section.
+ String interpretation depends on specific relocation kind:
+
+ * for field-based relocations, string encodes an accessed field using
+ a sequence of field and array indices, separated by colon (:). It's
+ conceptually very close to LLVM's `getelementptr <GEP_>`_ instruction's
+ arguments for identifying offset to a field. For example, consider the
+ following C code:
+
+ .. code-block:: c
+
+ struct sample {
+ int a;
+ int b;
+ struct { int c[10]; };
+ } __attribute__((preserve_access_index));
+ struct sample *s;
+
+ * Access to ``s[0].a`` would be encoded as ``0:0``:
+
+ * ``0``: first element of ``s`` (as if ``s`` is an array);
+ * ``0``: index of field ``a`` in ``struct sample``.
+
+ * Access to ``s->a`` would be encoded as ``0:0`` as well.
+ * Access to ``s->b`` would be encoded as ``0:1``:
+
+ * ``0``: first element of ``s``;
+ * ``1``: index of field ``b`` in ``struct sample``.
+
+ * Access to ``s[1].c[5]`` would be encoded as ``1:2:0:5``:
+
+ * ``1``: second element of ``s``;
+ * ``2``: index of anonymous structure field in ``struct sample``;
+ * ``0``: index of field ``c`` in anonymous structure;
+ * ``5``: access to array element #5.
+
+ * for type-based relocations, string is expected to be just "0";
+
+ * for enum value-based relocations, string contains an index of enum
+ value within its enum type;
+
+* ``kind`` - one of ``enum bpf_core_relo_kind``.

+CO-RE Relocation Examples
+=========================
+
+For the following C code:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct foo {
+ int a;
+ int b;
+ unsigned c:15;
+ } __attribute__((preserve_access_index));
+
+ enum bar { U, V };
+
+With the following BTF definitions:
+
+.. code-block::
+
+ ...
+ [2] STRUCT 'foo' size=8 vlen=2
+ 'a' type_id=3 bits_offset=0
+ 'b' type_id=3 bits_offset=32
+ 'c' type_id=4 bits_offset=64 bitfield_size=15
+ [3] INT 'int' size=4 bits_offset=0 nr_bits=32 encoding=SIGNED
+ [4] INT 'unsigned int' size=4 bits_offset=0 nr_bits=32 encoding=(none)
+ ...
+ [16] ENUM 'bar' encoding=UNSIGNED size=4 vlen=2
+ 'U' val=0
+ 'V' val=1
+
+Field offset relocations are generated automatically when
+``__attribute__((preserve_access_index))`` is used, for example:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ void alpha(struct foo *s, volatile unsigned long *g) {
+ *g = s->a;
+ s->a = 1;
+ }

+ 10: CO-RE <byte_off> [2] struct foo::a (0:0)
