>     The offset for the cleanup-label jump is computed before the MOV R7

>     extra insn in the offset calculation (-2 instead of -1). Drop the

>     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:
