Thanks.

No problem and agree they need very careful review. I understand once
landed the optimization will be always on for a couple of targets like Arm,
PowerPC and SPARC etc, so the correctness is critical.

Patch 5 has two comments from Jakub not addressed, they are not about
correctness so should not affect the review, I will fix them together with
the other new comments.

One good thing is high 32-bit randomization does catch a couple of corner
case bugs so prove to be very powerful and efficient for exposing bugs. In
v3, it is enabled on all possible tests under bpf selftests, and I haven't
noticed regressions (my local machine configure may caused some tests
skipped, but majority of the testsuite, especially all tests under
test_progs/test_progs_32/test_verifier ran without failure), this is a good
assurance of correctness.

Thanks.

Regards,
Jiong
