[PATCH bpf-next v1 7/7] selftests/bpf: write the mixed arena/scalar ALU tests in asm

[Vineet Gupta <vineet.gupta@linux.dev>]

They fail to build with BPF_GCC:

  progs/verifier_arena.c:566:5: error: optimization may eliminate reads and/or writes to register variables [-Werror=volatile-register-var]

for

  volatile register __u64 reg asm("r3");

GCC means it: with the warning silenced it drops both scalar accesses,
leaving nothing that uses r3 as a scalar:

  call	7
  if w0 == 0 goto .L136
  r9 = arena ll;r3 = 0;r3 = addr_space_cast(r3, 0, 1);
  .L136:
  r0 = 0
  exit

`reg = 1ULL << 32' and `reg += 1' are both gone.  The tests need one
instruction reached with r3 live as a scalar on one path and as an
arena pointer on the other; what is left gives the verifier no reason
to reject anything, so the __failure expectation would not hold.  A
local register variable is not guaranteed to survive a helper call
either, which GCC is also entitled to act on.

Nothing here needs a compiler to allocate registers, so write the
whole body in asm like mixed_arena_stack_atomic below, which tests the
same shape.  Both compilers then emit the same sequence, with the
branch landing on the shared ALU op:

  call 7
  r6=r0
  r3=1
  r3<<=32
  if w6==0 goto 4          <- lands on r3+=1
  r9=0 ll
  r3=0
  r3 = addr_space_cast(r3, 0, 1)
  r3+=1                    <- scalar on one path, arena pointer on the other
  r0=0
  exit

Take __load_if_JITed() from the sibling while here.  A program binding
an arena map is rejected in check_map_prog_compatibility() with "JIT is
required to use arena" during map resolution, before do_check() can
reach the shared instruction, so without a JIT these would fail on the
wrong message rather than skip.

Not exercised by a stock bpf-gcc, which compiles both tests out with the
rest of the arena block; the build failure above needs a compiler that
has arena support.  Under clang the rewrite is not a no-op either: the
pre-image spilled r3 to the stack and did the shared ALU op on r1
reloaded from it, so the test was not exercising one register live as
both a scalar and an arena pointer.
