Stream tests fail with BPF_GCC, e.g. test_stream_arena_fault_address:FAIL:stream__open_and_load unexpected error: -13 They call stream__open_and_load(), which loads every program in the object, and two of those do not verify: #481/11 stream_success/stream_arena_subprog_fault:FAIL #481/12 stream_success/stream_arena_callback_fault:FAIL Both dereference an arena pointer and leave the cast to the compiler: int __arena *addr = (int __arena *)0xdeadbeef; *addr = 1; Without arena support __arena is only btf_type_tag("arena"), so no addr_space_cast is emitted and the store is to a scalar, which the verifier rejects. GCC splits it into byte stores, 0xdeadbeef not being aligned: r2=3735928559 ll *(u8*)(r2+0)=1 <- plain store, no cast Their siblings in the same file do not rely on the compiler; they use bpf_addr_space_cast(), which emits the instruction byte by byte and works anywhere. Do the same here. The address space has to come off the local as well. Left on, a compiler that supports arenas casts a second time for the dereference, on a pointer the explicit cast has already converted: r2 = addr_space_cast(r2, 0, 1) r3 = addr_space_cast(r2, 0, 1) *(u32*)(r3+0)=1 With it off, GCC with and without arena support and clang all emit the same thing, which is what the test wants: r2 = addr_space_cast(r2, 0, 1) *(u32*)(r2+0)=1 What these two assert is the fault report, not how the pointer was produced, so nothing they were testing is lost. Measured on bpf-next with a stock bpf-gcc, test_progs before and after. Every test that loads this object recovers, not just the arena ones: stream_arena_fault_address FAIL -> OK stream_fd FAIL -> OK stream_fd/blocking FAIL -> OK stream_fd/edge FAIL -> OK stream_fd/empty FAIL -> OK stream_fd/hup FAIL -> OK stream_fd/nmi_epoll FAIL -> OK stream_fd/nonblock FAIL -> OK stream_fd/open FAIL -> OK stream_oversize FAIL -> OK stream_partial_read FAIL -> OK stream_success FAIL -> OK stream_success/stream_arena_callback_fault FAIL -> OK stream_success/stream_arena_subprog_fault FAIL -> OK stream_syscall FAIL -> OK and the subtests of the object that failed to load appear for the first time: stream_arena_fault_address/read_fault -> OK stream_arena_fault_address/write_fault -> OK stream_arena_fault_address/xchg_fault -> OK stream_arena_fault_address/cmpxchg_fault -> OK stream_arena_fault_address/load_acquire_fault -> OK Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta --- v3 -> v4: was 6/8.
