libbpf: Add BPF-side definitions of supported field relocation kinds
Add enum definition for Clang's __builtin_preserve_field_info() second argument (info_kind). Currently only byte offset and existence are supported. Corresponding Clang changes introducing this built-in can be found at [0] [0] https://reviews.llvm.org/D67980 Signed-off-by: Andrii Nakryiko <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <[email protected]> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/[email protected]
