Ilya Leoshkevich 7541c87c9b bpf: Allow narrow loads of bpf_sysctl fields with offset > 0
"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.
