We investigated this case and found that it was a false positive and
not caused by your commit. Sorry for that.

This report was generated when running sparse. We used to catch a build
error as below:

  CC      arch/riscv/net/bpf_jit_comp64.o
arch/riscv/net/bpf_jit_comp64.c: In function 'bpf_arch_text_poke':
arch/riscv/net/bpf_jit_comp64.c:691:23: error: implicit declaration of
function 'patch_text'; did you mean 'path_get'? [-Werror=implicit-
function-declaration]
  691 |                 ret = patch_text(ip, new_insns, ninsns);
      |                       ^~~~~~~~~~
      |                       path_get

This is exactly what commit 2d311f480b52 wants to fix. Then the build
error is gone and a sparse warning jumps out as below:

  CC      arch/riscv/net/bpf_jit_comp64.o  <-- compiling stage
  CHECK   arch/riscv/net/bpf_jit_comp64.c  <-- sparse check stage
WARNING: invalid argument to '-march': '_zicbom_zihintpause'
arch/riscv/net/bpf_jit_comp64.c: note: in included file:
arch/riscv/net/bpf_jit.h:241:30: sparse: sparse: cast truncates bits
from constant value (7ff becomes ff)

Our bisection logic wrongly assumed that a new issue was introduced on
this commit, but actually it wasn't. It should be an already-there
problem in existing code.

Sorry again for any inconvenience. We will filter out this false
positive and optimize the bot.

Best Regards,
Yujie
