[PATCH bpf-next v2 3/3] selftests/bpf: Add tests to verify checking padding bytes for bpf_[map,prog]_info

From: Leon Hwang

Date: Thu Jun 04 2026 - 11:20:11 EST


Add two tests to verify that the tail padding 4 bytes of struct
bpf_map_info and bpf_prog_info are checked in syscall.c using
bpf_check_uarg_tail_zero().
