Hi,

A test for it is a bit tricky. I only found two 64bit fields that can
be loaded narrowly - `sample_period` and `addr` in `struct
bpf_perf_event_data`, so in theory I could have a test like follows:

{
    "32bit loads of a 64bit field (both least and most significant words)",
    .insns =3D {
    BPF_LDX_MEM(BPF_W, BPF_REG_4, BPF_REG_1, offsetof(struct
bpf_perf_event_data, addr)),
    BPF_LDX_MEM(BPF_W, BPF_REG_4, BPF_REG_1, offsetof(struct
bpf_perf_event_data, addr) + 4),
    BPF_MOV64_IMM(BPF_REG_0, 0),
    BPF_EXIT_INSN(),
    },
    .result =3D ACCEPT,
    .prog_type =3D BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT,
},

The test like this would check that the program is not rejected, but
it wasn't an issue. The test does not check if the verifier has
transformed the narrow reads properly. Ideally the BPF program would
do something like this:

/* let's assume that low and high variables get their values from narrow lo=
ad */
__u64 low =3D (__u32)perf_event->addr;
__u64 high =3D (__u32)(perf_event->addr >> 32);
__u64 addr =3D low | (high << 32);

return addr !=3D perf_event->addr;

But the test_verifier.c won't be able to run this, because
BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT programs are not supported by the
bpf_test_run_prog function.

Any hints how to proceed here?

Cheers,
Krzesimir
