Linux kernel source tree

Negative field existence cases for have a broken assumption that FIELD_EXISTS
CO-RE relo will fail for fields that match the name but have incompatible type
signature. That's not how CO-RE relocations generally behave. Types and fields
that match by name but not by expected type are treated as non-matching
candidates and are skipped. Error later is reported if no matching candidate
was found. That's what happens for most relocations, but existence relocations
(FIELD_EXISTS and TYPE_EXISTS) are more permissive and they are designed to
return 0 or 1, depending if a match is found. This allows to handle
name-conflicting but incompatible types in BPF code easily. Combined with
___flavor suffixes, it's possible to handle pretty much any structural type
changes in kernel within the compiled once BPF source code.
So, long story short, negative field existence test cases are invalid in their
assumptions, so this patch reworks them into a single consolidated positive
case that doesn't match any of the fields.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
