bpf: fix branch offset adjustment on backjumps after patching ctx expansion
When ctx access is used, the kernel often needs to expand/rewrite instructions, so after that patching, branch offsets have to be adjusted for both forward and backward jumps in the new eBPF program, but for backward jumps it fails to account the delta. Meaning, for example, if the expansion happens exactly on the insn that sits at the jump target, it doesn't fix up the back jump offset. Analysis on what the check in adjust_branches() is currently doing: /* adjust offset of jmps if necessary */ if (i < pos && i + insn->off + 1 > pos) insn->off += delta; else if (i > pos && i + insn->off + 1 < pos) insn->off -= delta; First condition (forward jumps): Before: After: insns[0] insns[0] insns[1] <--- i/insn insns[1] <--- i/insn insns[2] <--- pos insns[P] <--- pos insns[3] insns[P] `------| delta insns[4] <--- t...
