Will reported that in BPF_XADD we must use a different register in stxr
instruction for the status flag due to otherwise CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE
behavior per architecture. Reference manual says [1]:
If s == t, then one of the following behaviors must occur:
* The instruction is UNDEFINED.
* The instruction executes as a NOP.
* The instruction performs the store to the specified address, but
the value stored is UNKNOWN.
Thus, use a different temporary register for the status flag to fix it.
Disassembly extract from test 226/STX_XADD_DW from test_bpf.ko:

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
