Commit5fbc220862("tools/libpf: Add offsetof/container_of macro in bpf_helpers.h") added a macro offsetof() to get the offset of a structure member: #define offsetof(TYPE, MEMBER) ((size_t)&((TYPE *)0)->MEMBER) In certain use cases, size_t type may not be available so Commitda7a35062b("libbpf bpf_helpers: Use __builtin_offsetof for offsetof") changed to use __builtin_offsetof which removed the dependency on type size_t, which I suggested. But using __builtin_offsetof will prevent CO-RE relocation generation in case that, e.g., TYPE is annotated with "preserve_access_info" where a relocation is desirable in case the member offset is changed in a different kernel version. So this patch reverted back to the original macro but using "unsigned long" instead of "site_t".

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.
