selftests/bpf: Workaround a verifier issue for test exhandler
The llvm patch [1] enabled opaque pointer which caused selftest 'exhandler' failure. ... ; work = task->task_works; 7: (79) r1 = *(u64 *)(r6 +2120) ; R1_w=ptr_callback_head(off=0,imm=0) R6_w=ptr_task_struct(off=0,imm=0) ; func = work->func; 8: (79) r2 = *(u64 *)(r1 +8) ; R1_w=ptr_callback_head(off=0,imm=0) R2_w=scalar() ; if (!work && !func) 9: (4f) r1 |= r2 math between ptr_ pointer and register with unbounded min value is not allowed below is insn 10 and 11 10: (55) if r1 != 0 goto +5 11: (18) r1 = 0 ll ... In llvm, the code generation of 'r1 |= r2' happened in codegen selectiondag phase due to difference of opaque pointer vs. non-opaque pointer. Without [1], the related code looks like: r2 = *(u64 *)(r6 + 2120) r1 = *(u64 *)(r2 + 8) if r2 != 0 goto +6 <LBB0_4> if r1 != 0 goto +5 <LBB0_4> r1 = 0 ll ... I haven't found a good way in llvm to fix this issue. So let us workaround the problem first so bpf CI won't be blocked.
