LLVM BPF pass SimplifyPatchable is used to do necessary
code conversion for CO-RE operations. When studying bpf
selftest 'exhandler', I found a corner case not handled properly.
The following is the C code, modified from original 'exhandler'
code.
int g;
int test(struct t1 *p) {
struct t2 *q = p->q;
if (q)
return 0;
struct t3 *f = q->f;
if (!f) g = 5;
return 0;
}
For code:
struct t3 *f = q->f;
if (!f) ...
The IR before BPFMISimplifyPatchable pass looks like:
%5:gpr = LD_imm64 @"llvm.t2:0:8$0:1"
%6:gpr = LDD killed %5:gpr, 0
%7:gpr = LDD killed %6:gpr, 0
JNE_ri killed %7:gpr, 0, %bb.3
JMP %bb.2
Note that compiler knows q = 0 based dataflow and value analysis.
The correct generated code after the pass should be
%5:gpr = LD_imm64 @"llvm.t2:0:8$0:1"
%7:gpr = LDD killed %5:gpr, 0
JNE_ri killed %7:gpr, 0, %bb.3
JMP %bb.2
But the current implementation did further optimization for the
above code and generates
%5:gpr = LD_imm64 @"llvm.t2:0:8$0:1"
JNE_ri killed %5:gpr, 0, %bb.3
JMP %bb.2
which is incorrect.
This patch added a cache to remember those load insns not associated
with CO-RE offset value and will skip these load insns during
transformation.
