yeah :) will reply in the other thread.
Too many public and internal discussions in the last week.
Weekend is the only time to reduce the backlog :)

Thanks. That worked. Built the whole thing :)

objdump behaves the same way.
When compiled by clang with '-g'
(gdb) x/10i bpf_prog1
    0x0 <clang version 5.0.0 (trunk 301652) (llvm/trunk 301662)>: 
ldimm64	r0, 590618314553
    0x10 <clang version 5.0.0 (trunk 301652) (llvm/trunk 301662)+16>:

    0x18 <clang version 5.0.0 (trunk 301652) (llvm/trunk 301662)+24>: 
lddw	r10, [r1+65528]
    0x20 <clang version 5.0.0 (trunk 301652) (llvm/trunk 301662)+32>:

    0x28 <clang version 5.0.0 (trunk 301652) (llvm/trunk 301662)+40>:

    0x30 <clang version 5.0.0 (trunk 301652) (llvm/trunk 301662)+48>:	exit
    0x38:	Cannot access memory at address 0x38

Even without -g the last line 'Cannot access' is printed.
It seems gdb miscalculates the total func size?
The printing of 'clang version...' is due to '-g'.
Without -g it looks good:
(gdb) x/10i bpf_prog1
    0x0 <bpf_prog1>:	ldimm64	r1, 590618314553
    0x10 <bpf_prog1+16>:	stdw	[r10+65528], r1

Btw, I'm using this C file for testing:
int bpf_prog1(void *ign)
{
   volatile unsigned long t = 0x8983984739ull;
   return *(unsigned long *)((0xffffffff8fff0002ull) + t);
}

There was a bug in llvm backend with imm overflow which
was recently fixed.
