The data of compressed section should be aligned to 4
(for 32bit) or 8 (for 64 bit) bytes.
The binutils ld sets sh_addralign to 1, which makes libelf
fail with misaligned section error during the update as
reported by Jesper:
FAILED elf_update(WRITE): invalid section alignment
While waiting for ld fix, we can fix compressed sections
sh_addralign value manually.
Adding warning in -vv mode when the fix is triggered:
$ ./tools/bpf/resolve_btfids/resolve_btfids -vv vmlinux

update ok for vmlinux
Another workaround is to disable compressed debug info data
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_COMPRESSED kernel option.

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.
