[PATCH bpf-next v2 0/5] bpf: infer zext_dst based on static register liveness analysis

Min-gyu Kim reported a bug in 32-bit operations zero extension
handling [1]. The bug was introduced by the commit [2].
The tl;dr of the bug is that the verifier does not carry zero
extension marks across pruning points. The detailed mechanism is
described in patch #3.

Fix this by reworking zero extension logic to avoid main-path based
subreg_def tracking, and instead extend the live registers analysis to
track upper register halves' liveness.

As noted in the commit message for patch #3:

  There is one notable drop in precision: whenever a BPF subprogram is
  called, all 64 bits of parameter registers are presumed to be used.
  The assumption is that such a drop in precision would not inflict
  noticeable performance penalty.

Ilya, could you please help with testing this conjecture?
Min-gyu, could you please test the proposed fix against your
reproducer?

Side note:
Patch #1 is a small refactoring for disasm.c, as patch #3 adds a new
location where bpf_verbose_insn() is called and there as well I have
to wrangle with the newline added by the disasm code.

[2] commit 107e16979905 ("bpf: disable and remove registers chain based liveness")

Changelog:
v1 -> v2:
- fixed BPF_JMP32 handling, these no longer for zero extension (sashiko)
- removed dead code in print_insn_for_graph() (bot+bpf-ci)
- reworked bpf_is_reg64() to drop dead code (sashiko, bot+bpf-ci)

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/[email protected]/T/
