Alexei Starovoitov 75748837b7 bpf: Propagate scalar ranges through register assignments.
The llvm register allocator may use two different registers representing the
same virtual register. In such case the following pattern can be observed:
1047: (bf) r9 = r6
1048: (a5) if r6 < 0x1000 goto pc+1
1050: ...
1051: (a5) if r9 < 0x2 goto pc+66
1052: ...
1053: (bf) r2 = r9 /* r2 needs to have upper and lower bounds */

This is normal behavior of greedy register allocator.
The slides 137+ explain why regalloc introduces such register copy:
http://llvm.org/devmtg/2018-04/slides/Yatsina-LLVM%20Greedy%20Register%20Allocator.pdf
There is no way to tell llvm 'not to do this'.
Hence the verifier has to recognize such patterns.

In order to track this information without backtracking allocate ID
for scalars in a similar way as it's done for find_good_pkt_pointers().

When the verifier encounters r9 = r6 assignment it will assign the same ID
to both registers. Later if either register range is narrowed via conditional
jump propagate the register state into the other register.

Clear register ID in adjust_reg_min_max_vals() for any alu instruction. The
register ID is ignored for scalars in regsafe() and doesn't affect state
pruning. mark_reg_unknown() clears the ID. It's used to process call, endian
and other instructions. Hence ID is explicitly cleared only in
adjust_reg_min_max_vals() and in 32-bit mov.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
