[PATCH bpf-next v2 06/13] selftests/bpf: cover sign extensions that cannot change the range
From: Vineet Gupta
Date: Thu Sep 10 2026 - 12:58:09 EST
Both programs build a range that straddles zero but still fits the target
field, so the sign extension is a no-op: [-4095, 0] for (s32) and [-63, 0]
for (s8). The guard that follows can only be resolved statically if the
range survives, and it protects a div by zero, so a widened range is a
verification failure rather than a silently weaker test.
These sit in verifier_movsx.c rather than with the linked-scalar tests:
they exercise the range a sign-extending mov produces, which has nothing
to do with the ->id machinery, and the file already gates on the cpuv4
support they need.
