This patch fixes an incorrect check in how immediate memory offsets are computed for BPF_DW on arm. For BPF_LDX/ST/STX + BPF_DW, the 32-bit arm JIT breaks down an 8-byte access into two separate 4-byte accesses using off+0 and off+4. If off fits in imm12, the JIT emits a ldr/str instruction with the immediate and avoids the use of a temporary register. While the current check off <= 0xfff ensures that the first immediate off+0 doesn't overflow imm12, it's not sufficient for the second immediate off+4, which may cause the second access of BPF_DW to read/write the wrong address. This patch fixes the problem by changing the check to off <= 0xfff - 4 for BPF_DW, ensuring off+4 will never overflow. A side effect of simplifying the check is that it now allows using negative immediate offsets in ldr/str. This means that small negative offsets can also avoid the use of a temporary register. This patch introduces no new failures in test_verifier or test_bpf.c.

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.
