I don't understand what the test suppose to demonstrate.
co-re relocs work for kernel btf only.
Are you saying that 'struct callback_head' happened to be used by user space
process that allocated it in user memory. And that is the same struct as
being used by the kernel? So co-re relocs that apply against the kernel
will sort-of work against the data of user space process because
the user space is using the same struct? That sounds convoluted.
I struggle to see the point of patch 1:
+#define bpf_core_read_user(dst, sz, src)                                   \
+       bpf_probe_read_user(dst, sz, (const void *)__builtin_preserve_access_index(src))

co-re for user structs? Aren't they uapi? No reloc is needed.
