With the new internal clang version I see the following optimization that makes connect4 program unverifiable. The following code: int do_bind() { if (bpf_bind() != 0) return 0; return 1; } int connect_v4_prog() { return do_bind() ? 1 : 0; } Becomes: int do_bind() { if (bpf_bind() != 0) return 0; return 1; } int connect_v4_prog() { return do_bind(); } IOW, looks like clang is able to see that do_bind returns only 0 and 1 and the extra branch around 'return do_bind' is not needed. This, however, seems to break the verifier, which assumes that bpf2bpf calls can return 0-0xffffffff. Note, I can produce those programs only with the internal fork of clang. The latest one from git still produced correct bytecode. It might be some options/optimizations that we enable and that are still disabled for the general upstream users, not sure. I've desided to send this patch out anyway since it seems like a correct optimization the compiler might do. So to be future-proof, reshape the code a bit to return bpf_bind result directly. This will not give any hint to the clang about the return value and will force it generate that '? 1: 0' branch at the callee.
