bpf: Add third round of bounds deduction
[ Upstream commit 5dbb19b ] Commit d7f0087 ("bpf: try harder to deduce register bounds from different numeric domains") added a second call to __reg_deduce_bounds in reg_bounds_sync because a single call wasn't enough to converge to a fixed point in terms of register bounds. With patch "bpf: Improve bounds when s64 crosses sign boundary" from this series, Eduard noticed that calling __reg_deduce_bounds twice isn't enough anymore to converge. The first selftest added in "selftests/bpf: Test cross-sign 64bits range refinement" highlights the need for a third call to __reg_deduce_bounds. After instruction 7, reg_bounds_sync performs the following bounds deduction: reg_bounds_sync entry: scalar(smin=-655,smax=0xeffffeee,smin32=-783,smax32=-146) __update_reg_bounds: scalar(smin=-655,smax=0xeffffeee,smin32=-783,smax32=-146) __reg_deduce_bounds: __reg32_deduce_bounds: scalar(smin=-655,smax=0xeffffeee,smin32=-783,smax32=-146,umin32=0xfffffcf1,umax32=0xffffff6e) __reg64_deduce_bounds: scalar(smin=-655,smax=0xeffffeee,smin32=-783,smax32=-146,umin32=0xfffffcf1,umax32=0xffffff6e) __reg_deduce_mixed_bounds: scalar(smin=-655,smax=0xeffffeee,umin=umin32=0xfffffcf1,umax=0xffffffffffffff6e,smin32=-783,smax32=-146,umax32=0xffffff6e) __reg_deduce_bounds: __reg32_deduce_bounds: scalar(smin=-655,smax=0xeffffeee,umin=umin32=0xfffffcf1,umax=0xffffffffffffff6e,smin32=-783,smax32=-146,umax32=0xffffff6e) __reg64_deduce_bounds: scalar(smin=-655,smax=smax32=-146,umin=0xfffffffffffffd71,umax=0xffffffffffffff6e,smin32=-783,umin32=0xfffffcf1,umax32=0xffffff6e) __reg_deduce_mixed_bounds: scalar(smin=-655,smax=smax32=-146,umin=0xfffffffffffffd71,umax=0xffffffffffffff6e,smin32=-783,umin32=0xfffffcf1,umax32=0xffffff6e) __reg_bound_offset: scalar(smin=-655,smax=smax32=-146,umin=0xfffffffffffffd71,umax=0xffffffffffffff6e,smin32=-783,umin32=0xfffffcf1,umax32=0xffffff6e,var_off=(0xfffffffffffffc00; 0x3ff)) __update_reg_bounds: scalar(smin=-655,smax=smax32=-146,umin=0xfffffffffffffd71,umax=0xffffffffffffff6e,smin32=-783,umin32=0xfffffcf1,umax32=0xffffff6e,var_off=(0xfffffffffffffc00; 0x3ff)) In particular, notice how: 1. In the first call to __reg_deduce_bounds, __reg32_deduce_bounds learns new u32 bounds. 2. __reg64_deduce_bounds is unable to improve bounds at this point. 3. __reg_deduce_mixed_bounds derives new u64 bounds from the u32 bounds. 4. In the second call to __reg_deduce_bounds, __reg64_deduce_bounds improves the smax and umin bounds thanks to patch "bpf: Improve bounds when s64 crosses sign boundary" from this series. 5. Subsequent functions are unable to improve the ranges further (only tnums). Yet, a better smin32 bound could be learned from the smin bound. __reg32_deduce_bounds is able to improve smin32 from smin, but for that we need a third call to __reg_deduce_bounds. As discussed in [1], there may be a better way to organize the deduction rules to learn the same information with less calls to the same functions. Such an optimization requires further analysis and is orthogonal to the present patchset.
