I can reproduce this with ToT LLVM and it's BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG(..., "value
too large for the field") in drivers/net/ethernet/netronome/nfp/bpf/jit.c.
Specifically, the FIELD_FIT / __BF_FIELD_CHECK macro in ur_load_imm_any.

This compiles just fine with an earlier LLVM revision, so it could be a
relatively recent regression. I'll take a look. Thanks for catching this!

After spending some time debugging this with Nick, it looks like the
error is caused by a recent optimization change in LLVM, which together
with the inlining of ur_load_imm_any into jeq_imm, changes a runtime
check in FIELD_FIT that would always fail, to a compile-time check that
breaks the build. In jeq_imm, we have:

    /* struct bpf_insn: _s32 imm */
    u64 imm = insn->imm; /* sign extend */
    ...
    if (imm >> 32) { /* non-zero only if insn->imm is negative */
    	/* inlined from ur_load_imm_any */
	u32 __imm = imm >> 32; /* therefore, always 0xffffffff */

        /*
	 * __imm has a value known at compile-time, which means
	 * __builtin_constant_p(__imm) is true and we end up with
	 * essentially this in __BF_FIELD_CHECK:
	 */
	if (__builtin_constant_p(__imm) && __imm <= 255)
	      __compiletime_assert_N();

The compile-time check comes from the following BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG:

    #define __BF_FIELD_CHECK(_mask, _reg, _val, _pfx)		\
    ...
	BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG(__builtin_constant_p(_val) ?		\
			 ~((_mask) >> __bf_shf(_mask)) & (_val) : 0, \
			 _pfx "value too large for the field"); \

While we could stop the compiler from performing this optimization by
telling it to never inline ur_load_imm_any, we feel like a better fix
might be to replace FIELD_FIT(UR_REG_IMM_MAX, imm) with a simple imm
<= UR_REG_IMM_MAX check that won't trip a compile-time assertion even
when the condition is known to fail.

Jiong, Jakub, do you see any issues here?

Sami
