outdated name?

same?


BTW, this patch set breaks CI ([0]), please investigate

hmm, maybe let's just drop this pr_debug instead? that's a lot of code
and checks just to emit this debug info.

This validation probably is better to do before prog->obj->gen_loader
check so that we don't silently do something bad in record_relo_core()
if insn_idx is wrong? It doesn't change the rest of the logic, right?
So there shouldn't be any harm or change of behavior.
