[PATCH] bpf: btf: Fix a var size check in validator

From: Yichun Zhang (agentzh)
Date: Fri Jan 07 2022 - 21:22:50 EST


The btf validator should croak when the variable size is larger than
its type size, not less. The LLVM optimizer may use smaller sizes for
the C type.

We ran into this issue with real-world BPF programs emitted by the
latest version of Clang/LLVM.

Fixes: 1dc92851849cc ("bpf: kernel side support for BTF Var and DataSec")
