Currently, the 64bit relocation value in the instruction is computed as follows: __u64 imm = insn[0].imm + ((__u64)insn[1].imm << 32) Suppose insn[0].imm = -1 (0xffffffff) and insn[1].imm = 1. With the above computation, insn[0].imm will first sign-extend to 64bit -1 (0xffffffffFFFFFFFF) and then add 0x1FFFFFFFF, producing incorrect value 0xFFFFFFFF. The correct value should be 0x1FFFFFFFF. Changing insn[0].imm to __u32 first will prevent 64bit sign extension and fix the issue. Merging high and low 32bit values also changed from '+' to '|' to be consistent with other similar occurences in kernel and libbpf.
