kbuild: Fix changing ELF file type for output of gen_btf for big endian
Commit 90ceddcb4950 ("bpf: Support llvm-objcopy for vmlinux BTF")
changed the ELF type of .btf.vmlinux.bin.o to ET_REL via dd, which works
fine for little endian platforms:
00000000 7f 45 4c 46 02 01 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |.ELF............|
-00000010 03 00 b7 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 80 00 80 ff ff |................|
+00000010 01 00 b7 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 80 00 80 ff ff |................|
However, for big endian platforms, it changes the wrong byte, resulting
in an invalid ELF file type, which ld.lld rejects:
00000000 7f 45 4c 46 02 02 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |.ELF............|
-00000010 00 03 00 16 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 10 00 00 |................|
+00000010 01 03 00 16 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 10 00 00 |................|
Type: <unknown>: 103
ld.lld: error: .btf.vmlinux.bin.o: unknown file type
Fix this by updating the entire 16-bit e_type field rather than just a
single byte, so that everything works correctly for all platforms and
linkers.
00000000 7f 45 4c 46 02 02 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |.ELF............|
-00000010 00 03 00 16 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 10 00 00 |................|
+00000010 00 01 00 16 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 10 00 00 |................|
Type: REL (Relocatable file)
While in the area, update the comment to mention that binutils 2.35+
matches LLD's behavior of rejecting an ET_EXEC input, which occurred
after the comment was added.
