[PATCH bpf-next v6 2/2] selftests/bpf: Add trampolines single and multi-level pointer params test coverage

Slava Imameev
2026-03-14T08:22:37Z

Add single and multi-level pointer parameters and return value test
coverage for BPF trampolines. Includes verifier tests for single and
multi-level pointers. The tests check verifier logs for pointers
inferred as scalar() type.
