[bpf-next,10/15] bpf: Track spilled unbounded scalars

Commit Message

From: Maxim Mikityanskiy <[e-mail]>

Support the pattern where an unbounded scalar is spilled to the stack,
then boundary checks are performed on the src register, after which the
stack frame slot is refilled into a register.

Before this commit, the verifier didn't treat the src register and the
stack slot as related if the src register was an unbounded scalar. The
register state wasn't copied, the id wasn't preserved, and the stack
slot was marked as STACK_MISC. Subsequent boundary checks on the src
register wouldn't result in updating the boundaries of the spilled
variable on the stack.

After this commit, the verifier will preserve the bond between src and
dst even if src is unbounded, which permits to do boundary checks on src
and refill dst later, still remembering its boundaries. Such a pattern
is sometimes generated by clang when compiling complex long functions.

One test is adjusted to reflect the fact that an untracked register is
marked as precise at an earlier stage, and one more test is adjusted to
reflect that now unbounded scalars are tracked.
