selftests/bpf: Workaround for llvm nop-4 bug
Currently LLVM fails to recognize .data.* as data section and defaults to .text section. Later BPF backend tries to emit 4-byte NOP instruction which doesn't exist in BPF ISA and aborts. The fix for LLVM is pending: https://reviews.llvm.org/D138477 While waiting for the fix lets workaround the linked_list test case by using .bss.* prefix which is properly recognized by LLVM as BSS section. Fix libbpf to support .bss. prefix and adjust tests. Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>
