Clang knows that, but verifier isn't able to infer this relationship. Yonghong Song narrowed down this "regression" in code generation to a recent Clang optimization change ([0]), which for BPF target generates code pattern that BPF verifier can't handle and loses track of register boundaries. This patch works around the issue by adding an BPF assembly-based helper that helps to prove to the verifier that upper bound of the register is a given constant by controlling the exact share of generated BPF instruction sequence. This fixes the immediate issue for strobemeta selftest. [0] https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/acabad9ff6bf13e00305d9d8621ee8eafc1f8b08 Signed-off-by: Andrii Nakryiko <andrii@xxxxxxxxxx>
I am working on a llvm compiler solution which may take some time. For the time being, the workaround looks good to me. Acked-by: Yonghong Song <yhs@xxxxxx>
