the CI now fails for s390 with messages like:
   2023-02-04T07:04:32.5185267Z    RES: address of kernel function bpf_kfunc_call_test_fail1 is out of range

so now that we have test kfuncs in the module, the 's32 imm' value of
the bpf call instructions can overflow when the offset between module
and kernel is greater than 2GB ... as explained in the commit that
added the verifier check:

  8cbf062a250e bpf: Reject kfunc calls that overflow insn->imm

not sure we can do anything about that on bpf side.. cc-ing s390 list
and Ilya for ideas/thoughts

maybe we could make bpf_testmod in-tree module and compile it as module
just for some archs

thoughts?

thanks,
jirka
