When calculating the address of the refcount_t struct within a local kptr, bpf_refcount_acquire_impl should add refcount_off bytes to the address of the local kptr. Due to some missing parens, the function is incorrectly adding sizeof(refcount_t) * refcount_off bytes. This patch fixes the calculation. Due to the incorrect calculation, bpf_refcount_acquire_impl was trying to refcount_inc some memory well past the end of local kptrs, resulting in kasan and refcount complaints, as reported in [0]. In that thread, Florian and Eduard discovered that bpf selftests written in the new style - with __success and an expected __retval, specifically - were not actually being run. As a result, selftests added in bpf_refcount series weren't really exercising this behavior, and thus didn't unearth the bug. With this fixed behavior it's safe to revert commit7c4b96c000("selftests/bpf: disable program test run for progs/refcounted_kptr.c"), this patch does so.

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 Restructured Text 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.
