Extend original variable-length tests with a case to catch a common existing pattern of testing for < 0 for errors. Note because verifier also tracks upper bounds and we know it can not be greater than MAX_LEN here we can skip upper bound check. In ALU64 enabled compilation converting from long->int return types in probe helpers results in extra instruction pattern, <<= 32, s >>= 32. The trade-off is the non-ALU64 case works. If you really care about every extra insn (XDP case?) then you probably should be using original int type. In addition adding a sext insn to bpf might help the verifier in the general case to avoid these types of tricks.

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.
