In check_stack_write_fixed_off(), imm value is cast to u32 before being spilled to the stack. Therefore, the sign information is lost, and the range information is incorrect when load from the stack again. For the following prog: 0: r2 = r10 1: *(u64*)(r2 -40) = -44 2: r0 = *(u64*)(r2 - 40) 3: if r0 s<= 0xa goto +2 4: r0 = 1 5: exit 6: r0 = 0 7: exit The verifier gives: func#0 @0 0: R1=ctx(off=0,imm=0) R10=fp0 0: (bf) r2 = r10 ; R2_w=fp0 R10=fp0 1: (7a) *(u64 *)(r2 -40) = -44 ; R2_w=fp0 fp-40_w=4294967252 2: (79) r0 = *(u64 *)(r2 -40) ; R0_w=4294967252 R2_w=fp0 fp-40_w=4294967252 3: (c5) if r0 s< 0xa goto pc+2 mark_precise: frame0: last_idx 3 first_idx 0 subseq_idx -1 mark_precise: frame0: regs=r0 stack= before 2: (79) r0 = *(u64 *)(r2 -40) 3: R0_w=4294967252 4: (b7) r0 = 1 ; R0_w=1 5: (95) exit verification time 7971 usec stack depth 40 processed 6 insns (limit 1000000) max_states_per_insn 0 total_states 0 peak_states 0 mark_read 0 So remove the incorrect cast, since imm field is declared as s32, and __mark_reg_known() takes u64, so imm would be correctly sign extended by compiler.
