Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 6/6] bpf, verifier: always mark destination of LDX as 64-bit
Date:   Tue, 12 Sep 2023 22:46:54 +0000
Message-Id: <20230912224654.6556-7-puranjay12@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To: <20230912224654.6556-1-puranjay12@gmail.com>

All 64-bit JITs utilize a single instruction to load + zero-extend a
byte, word, or a half-word. The optimisation of emitting zext for LDX is
not useful for most of the JITs.

All the JITs that relied on the verifier for zero extension of LDX
desitination registers have been modified to always zero extend the
destination.

Now the verifier can safely mark LDX destination as 64-bit and stop
emitting zero-extension instructions for it.
