Subject: [PATCH 6.6.y/6.12.y/6.18.y 2/2] selftests/bpf: Add tests for ld_{abs,ind} failure path in subprogs
Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2026 15:39:08 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260722073908.72382-3-lulie@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260722073908.72382-1-lulie@linux.alibaba.com>
From: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net>
commit e0fcb42bc6f41bab2895757d6610616b3820eff7 upstream.
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.
