The verifier test labelled "valid read map access into a read-only array
2" calls the bpf_csum_diff() helper and checks its return value.
However, architecture implementations of csum_partial() (which is what
the helper uses) differ in whether they fold the return value to 16 bit
or not. For example, x86 version has:

	if (unlikely(odd)) {
		result = from32to16(result);
		result = ((result >> 8) & 0xff) | ((result & 0xff) << 8);
	}

while generic lib/checksum.c does:

	result = from32to16(result);
	if (odd)
		result = ((result >> 8) & 0xff) | ((result & 0xff) << 8);

This makes the helper return different values on different
architectures, breaking the test on non-x86. To fix this, add an
I remember there is a previous discussion for this issue, csum_diff()
returns different results for different architecture? Daniel?
Any conclusion how to deal with this?
quoted hunk ↗ jump to hunk
additional instruction to always mask the return value to 16 bits, and
update the expected return value accordingly.
