Since BPF constant blinding is performed after the verifier pass, the
ALU32 instructions inserted for doubleword immediate loads don't have a

bpf_jit_harden=2.
Fix this by emitting BPF_ZEXT during constant blinding if
prog->aux->verifier_zext is set.

Thanks for the fix.

Just two other comments during review in case I am wrong on somewhere.
- Use verifier_zext instead of bpf_jit_needs_zext() seems better, even
though the latter could avoid extending function argument.
Because JIT back-ends look at verifier_zext, true means zext inserted
by verifier so JITs won't do the code-gen.
Use verifier_zext is sort of keeping JIT blinding the same behaviour
has verifier even though blinding doesn't belong to verifier, but for
such insn patching, it could be seen as a extension of verifier,
therefore use verifier_zext seems better than bpf_jit_needs_zext() to
me.
- JIT blinding is also escaping the HI32 randomization which happens
inside verifier, otherwise x86-64 regression should have caught this issue.
Jiong,
Thanks for the review.
Alexei, Daniel,
Can you please pick this up for v5.3. This is a regression and is
causing a crash on powerpc.
