bpf: teach verifier to recognize imm += ptr pattern Humans don't write C code like: u8 *ptr = skb->data; int imm = 4; imm += ptr; but from llvm backend point of view 'imm' and 'ptr' are registers and imm += ptr may be preferred vs ptr += imm depending which register value will be used further in the code, while verifier can only recognize ptr += imm. That caused small unrelated changes in the C code of the bpf program to trigger rejection by the verifier. Therefore teach the verifier to recognize both ptr += imm and imm += ptr. For example: when R6=pkt(id=0,off=0,r=62) R7=imm22 after r7 += r6 instruction will be R6=pkt(id=0,off=0,r=62) R7=pkt(id=0,off=22,r=62) Fixes: 969bf05eb3ce ("bpf: direct packet access") Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Acked-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> Signed-off-by: David S.
