[PATCH bpf-next v2 21/22] selftests/bpf: Test jumps around patches of bpf_do_misc_fixups()

From: Qiliang Yuan

Date: Fri Oct 30 2026 - 08:01:57 EST


bpf_do_misc_fixups() queues its patches and applies them at once,
relocating every jump through a map from old to new indices.

No test checks the xlated code of jumps that target, skip or leave such
patches, a jump that the patches push out of its 16-bit range, or an
indirect jump to a patched instruction.

Check the xlated code for forward and backward jumps to a patched
instruction, jumps over patches, and a may_goto whose jump leaves its
own patch and crosses another one. Check that a jump over 8200 guarded
divisions fails to load, and that a gotox to a guarded modulo by zero
lands on the guard.
