So considering the recent publication of [1], how come we all of a sudden don't need the barriers in ___bpf_prog_run(), namely for LD_IMM_DW and LDX_MEM_##SIZEOP, and something comparable for eBPF JIT? Is this going to be handled in eBPF in some other way? Without that in place, and considering Jann Horn's paper, it would seem like PTI doesn't really lock it down fully, right?
