Interesting. That's a surprise.
Could you share the asm that gcc generates?

It is there. See:
err = bpf_core_apply_relo_insn((void *)ctx->log, insn, ...

Passing it into bpf_core_spec_match() and further into
bpf_core_types_are_compat() is probably unnecessary.
All callers have an error check with a log right after.
So I think we won't lose anything if we drop this log.

Thanks!
