Subject: [PATCH v3 bpf-next 0/9] bpf: bounded loops and other features

v2->v3: fixed issues in backtracking pointed out by Andrii.
The next step is to add a lot more tests for backtracking.

v1->v2: addressed Andrii's feedback.

this patch set introduces verifier support for bounded loops and
adds several other improvements.
Ideally they would be introduced one at a time,
but to support bounded loop the verifier needs to 'step back'
in the patch 1. That patch introduces tracking of spill/fill
of constants through the stack. Though it's a useful feature
it hurts cilium tests.
Patch 3 introduces another feature by extending is_branch_taken
logic to 'if rX op rY' conditions. This feature is also
necessary to support bounded loops.
Then patch 4 adds support for the loops while adding
key heuristics with jmp_processed.
Introduction of parentage chain of verifier states in patch 4
allows patch 9 to add backtracking of precise scalar registers
which finally resolves degradation from patch 1.

The end result is much faster verifier for existing programs
and new support for loops.
See patch 8 for many kinds of loops that are now validated.
Patch 9 is the most tricky one and could be rewritten with
a different algorithm in the future.

Alexei Starovoitov (9):
  bpf: track spill/fill of constants
  selftests/bpf: fix tests due to const spill/fill
  bpf: extend is_branch_taken to registers
  bpf: introduce bounded loops
  bpf: fix callees pruning callers
  selftests/bpf: fix tests
  selftests/bpf: add basic verifier tests for loops
  selftests/bpf: add realistic loop tests
  bpf: precise scalar_value tracking
