From 836b2fe544a5e9b5ce116622cb36fba33838c6fd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eduard Zingerman Date: Fri, 4 Sep 2026 01:33:23 -0700 Subject: selftests/bpf: Check that JMP32 pointer vs zero jumps are not predicted Add jmp32_ptr_vs_zero_jne: the fall-through of the 32-bit compare, which the verifier used to skip, contains an out of bounds map value access, hence w/o the previous patch the program is accepted. See previous patch for detailed description.
