Yonghong Song 5a427fddec selftests/bpf: Fix selftest verifier_arena_large failure
With latest llvm22, I got the following verification failure:

  ...

  62: (bf) r3 = addr_space_cast(r2, 0, 1)       ; R2_w=scalar() R3_w=arena
  63: (71) r3 = *(u8 *)(r3 +0)          ; R3_w=scalar(smin=smin32=0,smax=umax=smax32=umax32=255,var_off=(0x0; 0xff))

  ; page[i + 1] = NULL; @ verifier_arena_large.c:243

  =============
  #489/5   verifier_arena_large/big_alloc2:FAIL

The main reason is that 'r8' in insn '70' is not an arena pointer.
Further debugging at llvm side shows that llvm commit ([1]) caused
the failure. For the original code:
  page[i] = NULL;
  page[i + 1] = NULL;
the llvm transformed it to something like below at source level:
  __builtin_memset(&page[i], 0, 16)
Such transformation prevents llvm BPFCheckAndAdjustIR pass from
generating proper addr_space_cast insns ([2]).

Adding support in llvm BPFCheckAndAdjustIR pass should work, but
not sure that such a pattern exists or not in real applications.
At the same time, simply adding a memory barrier between two 'page'
assignment can fix the issue.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
