Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2 10/13] selftests/bpf: cover the low-32 link for narrowing stack fills
Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2026 22:16:32 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260910164635.459558-11-vineet.gupta@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260910164635.459558-1-vineet.gupta@linux.dev>
Five programs, following the mov set:
- zext_fill_narrow_from_wide_spill: narrowing the spilled value reaches
the filled register
- sext_fill_narrow_from_wide_spill: the same for a sign-extending fill,
and the value that arrives is sign-extended
- zext_fill_full_width_keeps_full_link: a full-width fill is a plain
64-bit equality and must keep propagating as before
- zext_fill_byte_forms_no_link: a sub-word fill is below the low-32
model, so no link is formed
- fill_kinds_reach_different_values: the same, for the two fill kinds off
one slot
The first two are the ones that pin the new behaviour: disabling link
formation in the fill arm makes both fail. The other three are guards
against the feature applying where it should not, and hold either way.
