A narrow load from a 64-bit context field results in a 64-bit load
followed potentially by a 64-bit right-shift and then a bitwise AND
operation to extract the relevant data.

In the case of a 32-bit access, an immediate mask of 0xffffffff is used
to construct a 64-bit BPP_AND operation which then sign-extends the mask
value and effectively acts as a glorified no-op.

Fix the mask generation so that narrow loads always perform a 32-bit AND
operation.

Thanks for the fix! You didn't miss anything. It is a bug and we did not
find it probably because user always use 'u64 val = ctx->u64_field' in
their bpf code...

But I think the commit message can be improved. An example to show the
difference without and with this patch can explain the issue much better.

If I'm reading it correctly it's indeed a bug.
alu64(and, 0xffffFFFF) is a nop
but it should have been
alu32(and, 0xffffFFFF) which will clear upper 32-bit, right?

Right. This is my understanding as well.

Would be good to have a selftest for this.
