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.
