Add test to check that the verifier is able to recognize spilling of PTR_TO_MEM registers.
It would be nice to have some explanation of what the test does to recognize the spilling of the PTR_TO_MEM registers in the commit log as well.
Would it be possible to augment an existing test_progs program like tools/testing/selftests/bpf/progs/test_ringbuf.c to test this functionality?
How would you guarantee that LLVM generates the spill/fill, via inline asm?
Yeah, I guess there is no sure-shot way to do it and, adding inline asm would just be doing the same thing as this verifier test. You can ignore me on this one :)
It would, however, be nice to have a better description about what the test is actually doing./
It may be possible, but from what I understood from Daniel's comment here
https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/17629073-4fab-a922-ecc3-25b019960f44@iogearbox.n...
the test should be a part of the verifier tests (which is reasonable to me since it is a verifier bugfix)
Yeah, the test_verifier case as you have is definitely the most straight forward way to add coverage in this case.
