Yes, on x86_64 with gcc 10.2.1, the disassembly of ___bpf_prog_run() is the same
both before and after (with UBSAN disabled).  Here is the patch I used:

UBSAN inserts code that checks that shift amounts are in range.

In theory there are cases where the undefined behavior of out-of-range shift
amounts could cause problems.  For example, a compiler could make the following
function always return true, as it can assume that 'b' is in the range [0, 31].

	bool foo(int a, int b, int *c)
	{
		*c = a << b;
		return b < 32;
	}
