This is awesome. Thank you for contributing!
Applied.

Let's make it available then :)

Have you tried undoing these workarounds to check the latest verifier?
If they're still needed we certainly have to improve the verifier.

Do you use skeleton internally as well or was it just for selftests? ;)

Nice. I didn't realize clang supports it. Of course it should.

Wow. I didn't know about this attribute.
I wonder whether it can help Daniel's memcpy hack.

We need to look into this one.
This part is not gated by allow_ptr_leaks.
if (dst_reg == off_reg) {
/* scalar -= pointer. Creates an unknown scalar */
verbose(env, "R%d tried to subtract pointer from scalar\n",
dst);
return -EACCES;
}
Hopefully not too hard to fix.

unroll is still needed even with bounded loop support in the verifier?

Interesting. The verifier can recognize that ptr to stack can be safe in some cases.
When I added that check I didn't think that the code can be as tricky as this :)

The code flow looks pretty clean.
I didn't find the copy-paste of ipv[46] -> tcp/udp
you were mentioning.
So that old issue is now gone?
