Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2 2/3] bpf: Remove 'may_goto 0' instruction in opt_remove_nops()
Date: Sat, 18 Jan 2025 11:20:29 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250118192029.2124584-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250118192019.2123689-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev>

Since 'may_goto 0' insns are actually no-op, let us remove them.
Otherwise, verifier will generate code like
   /* r10 - 8 stores the implicit loop count */
   r11 = *(u64 *)(r10 -8)
   if r11 == 0x0 goto pc+2
   r11 -= 1
   *(u64 *)(r10 -8) = r11

which is the pure overhead.

The following code patterns (from the previous commit) are also
handled:
   may_goto 2
   may_goto 1
   may_goto 0

With this commit, the above three 'may_goto' insns are all
eliminated.
