+/* The minimum bpf_core_relo checked by the loader
+ *
+ * CO-RE relocation captures the following data:
+ * - insn_off - instruction offset (in bytes) within a BPF program that needs
+ * its insn->imm field to be relocated with actual field info;
+ * - 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 ([0]) instruction's
+ * arguments for identifying offset to a field.
+ * - for type-based relocations, strings is expected to be just "0";
+ * - for enum value-based relocations, string contains an index of enum
+ * value within its enum type;
+ *
+ * Example to provide a better feel.
+ *
+ * struct sample {
+ * int a;
+ * struct {
+ * int b[10];
+ * };
+ * };
+ *
+ * struct sample *s = ...;
+ * int x = &s->a; // encoded as "0:0" (a is field #0)
+ * int y = &s->b[5]; // encoded as "0:1:0:5" (anon struct is field #1,
+ * // b is field #0 inside anon struct, accessing elem #5)
+ * int z = &s[10]->b; // encoded as "10:1" (ptr is used as an array)
+ *
+ * type_id for all relocs in this example will capture BTF type id of
+ * `struct sample`.
+ *
+ * Such relocation is emitted when using __builtin_preserve_access_index()
+ * Clang built-in, passing expression that captures field address, e.g.:
+ *
+ * bpf_probe_read(&dst, sizeof(dst),
+ * __builtin_preserve_access_index(&src->a.b.c));
+ *
+ * In this case Clang will emit field relocation recording necessary data to
+ * be able to find offset of embedded `a.b.c` field within `src` struct.
+ *
