[bpf-next,v3,0/2] bpf: support to track BPF_JNE

For now, the reg bounds is not handled for BPF_JNE case, which can cause
the failure of following case:

  /* The type of "a" is u16 */
  if (a > 0 && a < 100) {
    /* the range of the register for a is [0, 99], not [1, 99],
     * and will cause the following error:
     *
     *   invalid zero-sized read
     *
     * as a can be 0.
     */
    bpf_skb_store_bytes(skb, xx, xx, a, 0);
  }

In the code above, "a > 0" will be compiled to "jmp xxx if a == 0". In the
TRUE branch, the dst_reg will be marked as known to 0. However, in the
fallthrough(FALSE) branch, the dst_reg will not be handled, which makes
the [min, max] for a is [0, 99], not [1, 99].

In the 1st patch, we reduce the range of the dst reg if the src reg is a
const and is exactly the edge of the dst reg For BPF_JNE.

In the 2nd patch, we just activate the test case for this logic in
range_cond(), which is committed by Andrii in the
commit 8863238993e2 ("selftests/bpf: BPF register range bounds tester").

Changes since v2:
- fix a typo in the subject of the 1st patch
- add some comments to the 1st patch, as Eduard advised
- add some cases to the "crafted_cases"

Changes since v1:
- simplify the code in the 1st patch
- introduce the 2nd patch for the testing

Menglong Dong (2):
  bpf: make the verifier tracks the "not equal" for regs
  selftests/bpf: activate the OP_NE login in range_cond()
