"ctx:file_pos sysctl:read read ok narrow" works on s390 by accident: it reads the wrong byte, which happens to have the expected value of 0. Improve the test by seeking to the 4th byte and expecting 4 instead of 0. This makes the latent problem apparent: the test attempts to read the first byte of bpf_sysctl.file_pos, assuming this is the least-significant byte, which is not the case on big-endian machines: a non-zero offset is needed. The point of the test is to verify narrow loads, so we cannot cheat our way out by simply using BPF_W. The existence of the test means that such loads have to be supported, most likely because llvm can generate them. Fix the test by adding a big-endian variant, which uses an offset to access the least-significant byte of bpf_sysctl.file_pos. This reveals the final problem: verifier rejects accesses to bpf_sysctl fields with offset > 0. Such accesses are already allowed for a wide range of structs: __sk_buff, bpf_sock_addr and sk_msg_md to name a few. Extend this support to bpf_sysctl by using bpf_ctx_range instead of offsetof when matching field offsets.

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.
