[ Upstream commit 27113c59b6d0a587b29ae72d4ff3f832f58b0651 ] Every 8 bytes of the stack is tracked by a bpf_stack_state. Within each bpf_stack_state, there is a 'u8 slot_type[8]' to track the type of each byte. Verifier tests slot_type[0] == STACK_SPILL to decide if the spilled reg state is saved. Verifier currently only saves the reg state if the whole 8 bytes are spilled to the stack, so checking the slot_type[7] is the same as checking slot_type[0]. The later patch will allow verifier to save the bounded scalar reg also for <8 bytes spill. There is a llvm patch [1] to ensure the <8 bytes spill will be 8-byte aligned, so checking slot_type[7] instead of slot_type[0] is required. While at it, this patch refactors the slot_type[0] == STACK_SPILL test into a new function is_spilled_reg() and change the slot_type[0] check to slot_type[7] check in there also.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
