Sorry for the confusion, results are indeed confusing to me .For me bisecting points to:
If I try with git bisect I get
git bisect bad
9d6f67365d9cdb389fbdac2bb5b00e59e345930e is the first bad commit
(A) 7c1134c7da99 ("bpf: Verifer, adjust_scalar_min_max_vals to always call update_reg_bounds()")
This changes the BPF verifier output and (as expected) breaks the
test_align selftest. That's why in the same series [1] another patch fixed
test_align. In v5.4.y, that patch is:
(B) 6a9b3f0f3bad ("selftests/bpf: Fix test_align verifier log patterns")
Unfortunately commit (B) addresses multiple verifier changes, not solely
(A). My guess is those changes were in series [1] and haven't been
backported to v5.4. So multiple solutions:
* Partially revert (B), only keeping the changes needed by (A)
* Revert (A) and (B)
* Add the missing commits that (B) also addresses
I don't know which, I suppose it depends on the intent behind backporting
(A). Ovidiu?
In any case 6098562ed9df ("selftests/bpf: Fix "dubious pointer arithmetic"
test") can be reverted, I can send that once we figure out the rest.
Thanks,
Jean

If I try to test myself with multiple test scenarios(I have mentioned
in the previous mails) for the bad commits , I see that bad commits
are
bpf: Verifer, adjust_scalar_min_max_vals to always call update_reg_bounds()
selftests/bpf: Fix test_align verifier log patterns
selftests/bpf: Fix "dubious pointer arithmetic" test
Thanks,
Rajesh Dasari.

Hi,I'm sorry, but I don't know what to do with this report at all.
Please find the test scenarios which I have tried.
Test 1:
Running system Kernel version (tag/commit) : v5.4.210
Kernel source code checkout : v5.4.210
test_align test case execution status : Failure
Test 2:
Running system Kernel version (tag/commit) : v5.4.210
Kernel source code checkout : v5.4.209
test_align test case execution status : Failure
Test 3:
Running system Kernel version (tag/commit) : v5.4.209
Kernel source code checkout : v5.4.209
test_align test case execution status : Success
Test 4:
Running system Kernel version (tag/commit) : ACPI: APEI: Better fix to
avoid spamming the console with old error logs ( Kernel compiled at
this commit and system is booted with this change)
Kernel source code checkout : v5.4.210 but reverted selftests/bpf: Fix
test_align verifier log patterns and selftests/bpf: Fix "dubious
pointer arithmetic" test. If I revert only the Fix "dubious pointer
arithmetic" test, the testcase still fails.
test_align test case execution status : Success
Test 5:
Running system Kernel version (tag/commit) : v5.4.210 but reverted
commit (bpf: Verifer, adjust_scalar_min_max_vals to always call
update_reg_bounds() )
Kernel source code checkout : v5.4.210 but reverted selftests/bpf: Fix
test_align verifier log patterns and selftests/bpf: Fix "dubious
pointer arithmetic" test.
test_align test case execution status : Success
Test 6 :
Running system Kernel version (tag/commit) : bpf: Test_verifier, #70
error message updates for 32-bit right shift( Kernel compiled at this
commit and system is booted with this change)
Kernel source code checkout : v5.4.209 or v5.4.210
test_align test case execution status : Failure
Is there some failure somewhere? If you use 'git bisect' do you find
the offending commit?
confused,
