bpf/verifier: track liveness for pruning
State of a register doesn't matter if it wasn't read in reaching an exit; a write screens off all reads downstream of it from all explored_states upstream of it. This allows us to prune many more branches; here are some processed insn counts for some Cilium programs: Program before after bpf_lb_opt_-DLB_L3.o 6515 3361 bpf_lb_opt_-DLB_L4.o 8976 5176 bpf_lb_opt_-DUNKNOWN.o 2960 1137 bpf_lxc_opt_-DDROP_ALL.o 95412 48537 bpf_lxc_opt_-DUNKNOWN.o 141706 78718 bpf_netdev.o 24251 17995 bpf_overlay.o 10999 9385 The runtime is also improved; here are 'time' results in ms: Program before after bpf_lb_opt_-DLB_L3.o 24 6 bpf_lb_opt_-DLB_L4.o 26 11 bpf_lb_opt_-DUNKNOWN.o 11 2 bpf_lxc_opt_-DDROP_ALL.o 1288 139 bpf_lxc_opt_-DUNKNOWN.o 1768 234 bpf_netdev.o 62 31 bpf_overlay.o 15 13 Signed-off-by: Edward Cree <ecree@solarflare.com> Acked-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> Signed-off-by: David S.
