[ Upstream commit 2ea2612b987ad703235c92be21d4e98ee9c2c67c ]

Currently, with latest llvm trunk, selftest test_progs failed obj file test_seg6_loop.o with the following error in verifier:

infinite loop detected at insn 76

The byte code sequence looks like below, and noted that alu32 has been turned off by default for better generated codes in general:

48: w3 = 100 49: *(u32 *)(r10 - 68) = r3 ... ; if (tlv.type == SR6_TLV_PADDING) { 76: if w3 == 5 goto -18 <LBB0_19> ... 85: r1 = *(u32 *)(r10 - 68) ; for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) { 86: w1 += -1 87: if w1 == 0 goto +5 <LBB0_20> 88: *(u32 *)(r10 - 68) = r1

The main reason for verification failure is due to partial spills at r10 - 68 for induction variable "i".

Current verifier only handles spills with 8-byte values. The above 4-byte value spill to stack is treated to STACK_MISC and its content is not saved. For the above example:

w3 = 100 R3_w=inv100 fp-64_w=inv1086626730498 *(u32 *)(r10 - 68) = r3 R3_w=inv100 fp-64_w=inv1086626730498 ... r1 = *(u32 *)(r10 - 68) R1_w=inv(id=0,umax_value=4294967295,var_off=(0x0; 0xffffffff)) fp-64=inv1086626730498

To resolve this issue, verifier needs to be extended to track sub-registers in spilling, or llvm needs to enhanced to prevent sub-register spilling in register allocation phase. The former will increase verifier complexity and the latter will need some llvm "hacking".

Let us workaround this issue by declaring the induction variable as "long" type so spilling will happen at non sub-register level. We can revisit this later if sub-register spilling causes similar or other verification issues.
