With latest upstream llvm18, the following test cases failed:

  $ ./test_progs -j
  #13/2    bpf_cookie/multi_kprobe_link_api:FAIL
  #13/3    bpf_cookie/multi_kprobe_attach_api:FAIL
  #13      bpf_cookie:FAIL
  #77      fentry_fexit:FAIL
  #78/1    fentry_test/fentry:FAIL
  #78      fentry_test:FAIL
  #82/1    fexit_test/fexit:FAIL
  #82      fexit_test:FAIL
  #112/1   kprobe_multi_test/skel_api:FAIL
  #112/2   kprobe_multi_test/link_api_addrs:FAIL
  [...]
  #112     kprobe_multi_test:FAIL
  #356/17  test_global_funcs/global_func17:FAIL
  #356     test_global_funcs:FAIL

Further analysis shows llvm upstream patch [1] is responsible for the above
failures. For example, for function bpf_fentry_test7() in net/bpf/test_run.c,
without [1], the asm code is:

  0000000000000400 <bpf_fentry_test7>:
     400: f3 0f 1e fa                   endbr64
     404: e8 00 00 00 00                callq   0x409 <bpf_fentry_test7+0x9>
     409: 48 89 f8                      movq    %rdi, %rax
     40c: c3                            retq
     40d: 0f 1f 00                      nopl    (%rax)

... and with [1], the asm code is:

  0000000000005d20 <bpf_fentry_test7.specialized.1>:
    5d20: e8 00 00 00 00                callq   0x5d25 <bpf_fentry_test7.specialized.1+0x5>
    5d25: c3                            retq

... and <bpf_fentry_test7.specialized.1> is called instead of <bpf_fentry_test7>
and this caused test failures for #13/#77 etc. except #356.

For test case #356/17, with [1] (progs/test_global_func17.c)), the main prog
looks like:

  0000000000000000 <global_func17>:
       0:       b4 00 00 00 2a 00 00 00 w0 = 0x2a
       1:       95 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 exit

... which passed verification while the test itself expects a verification
failure.

Let us add 'barrier_var' style asm code in both places to prevent function
specialization which caused selftests failure.
