Subject: [PATCH RFC bpf-next] bpf: per-register parent pointers
By giving each register its own liveness chain, we elide the skip_callee()
logic. Instead, each register's parent is the state it inherits from;
both check_func_call() and prepare_func_exit() automatically connect
reg states to the correct chain since when they copy the reg state across
(r1-r5 into the callee as args, and r0 out as the return value) they also
copy the parent pointer.

Ed,
I've started analyzing this old patch and it looks great.
I'd like to apply it, but I see the difference in insn_processed.
Several cilium tests show favorable difference towards new liveness approach.
selftests/bpf/test_xdp_noinline.o also shows the difference.
I'm struggling to see why this patch would make such difference.
Could you please help me analyze why such difference exists?
In particular if you hack test_progs.c to run only test_xdp_noinline
with verifier log_level=1 you will see this delta:
-from 237 to 273: frame2: R0=inv1 R1=pkt(id=0,off=54,r=14,imm=0) R2=fp-95,call_13 R3=fp-94,call_13 R4=pkt(id=0,off=0,r=14,imm=0) R5=pkt_end(id=0,off=0,imm=0) R6=fp-56,call_13 R10=fp0,call_44

Did we miss liveness propagation before or there is a bug in this patch?
