I cannot make any sense of this patch.
insn->dst_reg above is 0.
The kfunc call doesn't define a register from insn_def_regno() pov.

Are you hacking insn_def_regno() to return 0 so that
if (WARN_ON(load_reg == -1)) {
verbose(env, "verifier bug. zext_dst is set, but no reg is defined\n");
return -EFAULT;
}
in opt_subreg_zext_lo32_rnd_hi32() doesn't trigger ?

But this verifier message should have been a hint that you need
to analyze why zext_dst is set on this kfunc call.
Maybe it shouldn't ?
Did you analyze the logic of mark_btf_func_reg_size() ?

Before producing any patches please understand the logic fully.
Your commit log
"insn_def_regno should
return dst_reg for BPF_JMP type of BPF_PSEUDO_KFUNC_CALL."

Makes no sense to me, since dst_reg is unused in JMP insn.
There is no concept of a src or dst register in a JMP insn.

32-bit x86 supports calling kfuncs. See emit_kfunc_call().
And we don't have this "verifier bug. zext_dst is set" issue there, right?
But what you're saying in the commit log:
"if data width of kfunc return value is 32 bits"
should have been applicable to x86-32 as well.
So please start with a test that demonstrates the issue on x86-32 and
then we can discuss the way to fix it.

The patch 2 sort-of makes sense.

For patch 3 pls add new test funcs to bpf_testmod.
We will move all of them from net/bpf/test_run.c to bpf_testmod eventually.
