x86_64 and AArch64 perhaps are two arches that running bpf testsuite frequently, however the zero extension insertion pass is not enabled for them because of their hardware support. It is critical to guarantee the pass correction as it is supposed to be enabled at default for a couple of other arches, for example PowerPC, SPARC, arm, NFP etc. Therefore, it would be very useful if there is a way to test this pass on for example x86_64. The test methodology employed by this set is "poisoning" useless bits. High 32-bit of a definition is randomized if it is identified as not used by any later insn. Such randomization is only enabled under testing mode which is gated by the new bpf prog load flags "BPF_F_TEST_RND_HI32".

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.
