Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 4/4] selftests/bpf: Add tests for ld_{abs,ind} failure path in subprogs
Date: Wed, 8 Apr 2026 17:37:12 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260408153712.523124-4-daniel@iogearbox.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260408153712.523124-1-daniel@iogearbox.net>
Extend the verifier_ld_ind BPF selftests with subprogs containing
ld_{abs,ind} and craft the test in a way where the invalid register
read is rejected in the fixed case. Also add a success case each,
and add additional coverage related to the BTF return type enforcement.
