bpf, testing: Workaround a verifier failure for test_progs

Browse Source 
With latest llvm compiler, running test_progs will have the following
verifier failure for test_sysctl_loop1.o:

  libbpf: load bpf program failed: Permission denied
  libbpf: -- BEGIN DUMP LOG ---
  libbpf:
  invalid indirect read from stack var_off (0x0; 0xff)+196 size 7
  ...
  libbpf: -- END LOG --
  libbpf: failed to load program 'cgroup/sysctl'
  libbpf: failed to load object 'test_sysctl_loop1.o'

The related bytecode looks as below:

  0000000000000308 LBB0_8:
      97:       r4 = r10
      98:       r4 += -288
      99:       r4 += r7
     100:       w8 &= 255
     101:       r1 = r10
     102:       r1 += -488
     103:       r1 += r8
     104:       r2 = 7
     105:       r3 = 0
     106:       call 106
     107:       w1 = w0
     108:       w1 += -1
     109:       if w1 > 6 goto -24 <LBB0_5>
     110:       w0 += w8
     111:       r7 += 8
     112:       w8 = w0
     113:       if r7 != 224 goto -17 <LBB0_8>

And source code:

     for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(tcp_mem); ++i) {
             ret = bpf_strtoul(value + off, MAX_ULONG_STR_LEN, 0,
                               tcp_mem + i);
             if (ret <= 0 || ret > MAX_ULONG_STR_LEN)
                     return 0;
             off += ret & MAX_ULONG_STR_LEN;
     }

Current verifier is not able to conclude that register w0 before '+'
at insn 110 has a range of 1 to 7 and thinks it is from 0 - 255. This
leads to more conservative range for w8 at insn 112, and later verifier
complaint.

Let us workaround this issue until we found a compiler and/or verifier
solution. The workaround in this patch is to make variable 'ret' volatile,
which will force a reload and then '&' operation to ensure better value
range. With this patch, I got the below byte code for the loop:

  0000000000000328 LBB0_9:
     101:       r4 = r10
     102:       r4 += -288
     103:       r4 += r7
     104:       w8 &= 255
     105:       r1 = r10
     106:       r1 += -488
     107:       r1 += r8
     108:       r2 = 7
     109:       r3 = 0
     110:       call 106
     111:       *(u32 *)(r10 - 64) = r0
     112:       r1 = *(u32 *)(r10 - 64)
     113:       if w1 s< 1 goto -28 <LBB0_5>
     114:       r1 = *(u32 *)(r10 - 64)
     115:       if w1 s> 7 goto -30 <LBB0_5>
     116:       r1 = *(u32 *)(r10 - 64)
     117:       w1 &= 7
     118:       w1 += w8
     119:       r7 += 8
     120:       w8 = w1
     121:       if r7 != 224 goto -21 <LBB0_9>

Insn 117 did the '&' operation and we got more precise value range
for 'w8' at insn 120. The test is happy then:

  #3/17 test_sysctl_loop1.o:OK
