Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 4/4] selftests/bpf: Cover a second patch with a jump behind a barrier
Date: Mon, 02 Nov 2026 07:32:14 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261102-bpf-patch-list-followups-v1-4-ddc8ccf40f43@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261102-bpf-patch-list-followups-v1-0-ddc8ccf40f43@gmail.com>

bpf_convert_ctx_accesses() can patch an insn twice: a barrier goes in
front of it, and then its ctx access replaces the copy of the insn
behind the barrier. bpf_patch_list_add() merges the two into one patch.

No test has a second patch with a jump in it, so nothing checks that
the jumps of the second patch survive the merge. The barrier needs a
prog without CAP_PERFMON, and "nospec, store, nospec" in
verifier_unpriv.c has no jump.

Load skb->ifindex, which becomes a load, a jump and another load, at an
insn that a mispredicted path reaches with a scalar instead of the ctx.
Without CAP_PERFMON the verifier puts a barrier in front of it. Check
that the jump still skips one insn.
