[PATCH v2 2/2] selftests/bpf: add callback stack-argument rejection test
From: Jérémy Jean
Date: Mon Aug 17 2026 - 16:50:00 EST
Add verifier coverage for callback subprograms that declare incoming
stack arguments. The test passes a nine-argument callback to bpf_loop()
and expects the verifier to reject it.
