[PATCH 0/2] perf bpf: Fix relocation error

From: Wang Nan
Date: Fri Jan 22 2016 - 04:28:23 EST


Alexei notices me about a bug in llvm [1]. Because of this bug,
even a normal BPF program can generate incorrect (or redundant)
relocation information.

Patch 1 adds a new test case about it (use an buggy BPF script, should
fail even LLVM's bug is fixed). Since it is the first test case expected
to be fail, test framework is slightly adjusted.

Patch 2 adds the checker.
