Hi Sergei,

Thank you for adding these prints.
Could you please make a few adjustments, as noted below.
Also, please add "libbpf:" prefix in subject and mention
linker_sanity_check_elf in it, e.g.:

  libbpf: add pr_warn() for EINVAL cases in linker_sanity_check_elf
  
or something like that.

Could you please also print values for shdr->sh_addralign here?
And also print shdr->sh_addralign/data->d_align, shdr->sh_size/data->d_size
in corresponding pr_warn() calls below.

A few lines below this one there is:

		case SHT_PROGBITS:
			if (sec->shdr->sh_flags & SHF_EXECINSTR) {
				if (sec->shdr->sh_size % sizeof(struct bpf_insn) != 0)
					return -EINVAL;
			}
			break;

Could you please add pr_warn() there as well?
