Commit [1] moves percpu data on x86 from address 0x000... to address 0xfff... Before [1]: 159020: 0000000000030700 0 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 23 pcpu_hot After [1]: 152602: ffffffff83a3e034 4 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 35 pcpu_hot As a result, verifier_bpf_fastcall tests should now expect a negative value for pcpu_hot, IOW, the disassemble should show "r=" instead of "w=". Fix this in the test. Note that, a later change created a new variable "cpu_number" for bpf_get_smp_processor_id() [2]. The inlining logic is updated properly as part of this change, so there is no need to fix anything on the kernel side.

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.
