[PATCH v2 bpf-next 2/2] selftests/bpf: add inline assembly helpers to access array elements

From: Barret Rhoden
Date: Wed Jan 03 2024 - 13:54:43 EST


When accessing an array, even if you insert your own bounds check,
sometimes the compiler will remove the check, or modify it such that the
verifier no longer knows your access is within bounds.

The compiler is even free to make a copy of a register, check the copy,
and use the original to access the array. The verifier knows the *copy*
is within bounds, but not the original register!
