[PATCH bpf-next] selftests/bpf: Fix the invalid operand for instruction issue
Posted by Feng Yang 5 months, 2 weeks ago 
From: Feng Yang <yangfeng@kylinos.cn>

The following issue occurs when compiling with clang version 17.0.6,
but not with version 18.1.8. Add a version restriction to fix this problem.

progs/compute_live_registers.c:251:3: error: invalid operand for instruction
  251 |                 "r0 = 1;"
      |                 ^
<inline asm>:1:22: note: instantiated into assembly here
    1 |         r0 = 1;r2 = 2;if r1 & 0x7 goto +1;exit;r0 = r2;exit;
      |                             ^
1 error generated.

Instead of guarding this with compiler version, could you please use
progs/bpf_misc.h:__imm_insn() macro for the jset instruction?

I don't know much about assembly language. Could you tell me if the following changes are correct?

Looks correct, should be similar to verifier_search_pruning.c:short_loop1().

Unfortunately, I'm afraid that the best source for assembly syntax doc
are llvm backend tests and sources, e.g.:
- https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/main/llvm/test/CodeGen/BPF/assembler-disassembler.s
- https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/main/llvm/test/CodeGen/BPF/assembler-disassembler-v4.s
- https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/main/llvm/lib/Target/BPF/BPFInstrInfo.td

The directives should gas compatible (subset supported by llvm):
- https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/as/8byte.html

and once it compiles what happens next ?
