Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v4 1/9] bpf: Upgrade scalar to PTR_TO_ARENA on arena pointer addition
Date: Tue,  7 Apr 2026 00:57:22 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260407045730.13359-2-emil@etsalapatis.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260407045730.13359-1-emil@etsalapatis.com>

The compiler sometimes stores the result of a PTR_TO_ARENA + SCALAR
addition into the scalar register rather than the pointer register.
Handle this case by upgrading the destination scalar register to
PTR_TO_ARENA, matching the existing handling when the destination is
already PTR_TO_ARENA.
