Given BPF program's BTF root type name perform the following steps:
. search in vmlinux candidate cache.
. if (present in cache and candidate list >= 1) return candidate list.
. do a linear search through kernel BTFs for possible candidates.
. regardless of number of candidates found populate vmlinux cache.
. if (candidate list >= 1) return candidate list.
. search in module candidate cache.
. if (present in cache) return candidate list (even if list is empty).
. do a linear search through BTFs of all kernel modules
collecting candidates from all of them.
. regardless of number of candidates found populate module cache.
. return candidate list.
Then wire the result into bpf_core_apply_relo_insn().
When BPF program is trying to CO-RE relocate a type
that doesn't exist in either vmlinux BTF or in modules BTFs
these steps will perform 2 cache lookups when cache is hit.
Note the cache doesn't prevent the abuse by the program that might
have lots of relocations that cannot be resolved. Hence cond_resched().
CO-RE in the kernel requires CAP_BPF, since BTF loading requires it.
