test_bpf.ko doesn't call verifier before selecting interpreter or
JITing,
hence the tests need to manually specify the amount of stack they
consume.

I do not like this and the previous patch, it seems so error prone.

in what sense 'error prone' ?

In the sense that a human computes these numbers, and nothing checks
if it is correct or not until program perhaps crashes if the value is
wrong.
