bpf: Allow 'may_goto 0' instruction in verifier
Commit 011832b9 ("bpf: Introduce may_goto instruction") added support for may_goto insn. The 'may_goto 0' insn is disallowed since the insn is equivalent to a nop as both branch will go to the next insn. But it is possible that compiler transformation may generate 'may_goto 0' insn. Emil Tsalapatis from Meta reported such a case which caused verification failure. For example, for the following code, int i, tmp[3]; for (i = 0; i < 3 && can_loop; i++) tmp[i] = 0; ... clang 20 may generate code like may_goto 2; may_goto 1; may_goto 0; r1 = 0; /* tmp[0] = 0; */ r2 = 0; /* tmp[1] = 0; */ r3 = 0; /* tmp[2] = 0; */ Let us permit 'may_goto 0' insn to avoid verification failure for codes like the above.
