Paul Chaignon d945a3c339 bpf: Use tnums for JEQ/JNE is_branch_taken logic
[ Upstream commit f41345f47f ]

In the following toy program (reg states minimized for readability), R0
and R1 always have different values at instruction 6. This is obvious
when reading the program but cannot be guessed from ranges alone as
they overlap (R0 in [0; 0xc0000000], R1 in [1024; 0xc0000400]).

  0: call bpf_get_prandom_u32#7  ; R0_w=scalar()
  1: w0 = w0                     ; R0_w=scalar(var_off=(0x0; 0xffffffff))
  2: r0 >>= 30                   ; R0_w=scalar(var_off=(0x0; 0x3))
  3: r0 <<= 30                   ; R0_w=scalar(var_off=(0x0; 0xc0000000))
  4: r1 = r0                     ; R1_w=scalar(var_off=(0x0; 0xc0000000))
  5: r1 += 1024                  ; R1_w=scalar(var_off=(0x400; 0xc0000000))
  6: if r1 != r0 goto pc+1

Looking at tnums however, we can deduce that R1 is always different from
R0 because their tnums don't agree on known bits. This patch uses this
logic to improve is_scalar_branch_taken in case of BPF_JEQ and BPF_JNE.

This change has a tiny impact on complexity, which was measured with
the Cilium complexity CI test. That test covers 72 programs with
various build and load time configurations for a total of 970 test
cases. For 80% of test cases, the patch has no impact. On the other
test cases, the patch decreases complexity by only 0.08% on average. In
the best case, the verifier needs to walk 3% less instructions and, in
the worst case, 1.5% more. Overall, the patch has a small positive
impact, especially for our largest programs.

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 reStructuredText 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.
