bpf: Support for pointers beyond pkt_end.
This patch adds the verifier support to recognize inlined branch conditions. The LLVM knows that the branch evaluates to the same value, but the verifier couldn't track it. Hence causing valid programs to be rejected. The potential LLVM workaround: https://reviews.llvm.org/D87428 can have undesired side effects, since LLVM doesn't know that skb->data/data_end are being compared. LLVM has to introduce extra boolean variable and use inline_asm trick to force easier for the verifier assembly. Instead teach the verifier to recognize that r1 = skb->data; r1 += 10; r2 = skb->data_end; if (r1 > r2) { here r1 points beyond packet_end and subsequent if (r1 > r2) // always evaluates to "true". } Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>
