> The offset for the cleanup-label jump is computed before the MOV R7
> instruction is emitted, but the JMP lands after it. Account for the
> extra insn in the offset calculation (-2 instead of -1). Drop the
> redundant self-loop in the else branch; gen->error = -ERANGE already
> marks the generation as failed.

The Fixes: tag points to commit fb2b0e290147 ("libbpf: Update light
skeleton for signing"), which does not exist in this repository. The bug was
actually introduced by commit b3beebbe6154 ("adding ci files"), which added
the gen_loader.c file containing the emit_signature_match function with the
off-by-one error in the jump offset calculation. Should the Fixes: tag be:
