[ Upstream commit b16904fd9f01b580db357ef2b1cc9e86d89576c2 ] With latest upstream llvm18, the following test cases failed: $ ./test_progs -j #13/2 bpf_cookie/multi_kprobe_link_api:FAIL #13/3 bpf_cookie/multi_kprobe_attach_api:FAIL #13 bpf_cookie:FAIL #77 fentry_fexit:FAIL #78/1 fentry_test/fentry:FAIL #78 fentry_test:FAIL #82/1 fexit_test/fexit:FAIL #82 fexit_test:FAIL #112/1 kprobe_multi_test/skel_api:FAIL #112/2 kprobe_multi_test/link_api_addrs:FAIL [...] #112 kprobe_multi_test:FAIL #356/17 test_global_funcs/global_func17:FAIL #356 test_global_funcs:FAIL Further analysis shows llvm upstream patch [1] is responsible for the above failures. For example, for function bpf_fentry_test7() in net/bpf/test_run.c, without [1], the asm code is: 0000000000000400 <bpf_fentry_test7>: 400: f3 0f 1e fa endbr64 404: e8 00 00 00 00 callq 0x409 <bpf_fentry_test7+0x9> 409: 48 89 f8 movq %rdi, %rax 40c: c3 retq 40d: 0f 1f 00 nopl (%rax) ... and with [1], the asm code is: 0000000000005d20 <bpf_fentry_test7.specialized.1>: 5d20: e8 00 00 00 00 callq 0x5d25 <bpf_fentry_test7.specialized.1+0x5> 5d25: c3 retq ... and <bpf_fentry_test7.specialized.1> is called instead of <bpf_fentry_test7> and this caused test failures for #13/#77 etc. except #356. For test case #356/17, with [1] (progs/test_global_func17.c)), the main prog looks like: 0000000000000000 <global_func17>: 0: b4 00 00 00 2a 00 00 00 w0 = 0x2a 1: 95 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 exit ... which passed verification while the test itself expects a verification failure. Let us add 'barrier_var' style asm code in both places to prevent function specialization which caused selftests failure.

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.
