dst_reg is marked as unknown when BPF_MOD instruction is verified, causing the following bpf prog to be incorrectly rejected.
0: r0 = 0 1: r0 %= 1 // r0 is marked as unknown 2: r1 = 0 3: r1 += 1 4: if r1 < r0 goto pc-2 // verifier treats the loop as unbounded 5: exit
To teach verifier to accept the above prog, this patch adds bound tracking for BPF_MOD.
The approach is based on the following rules:
BPF_MOD is unsigned;
For an unsigned constant divisor x:
a. when x != 0, the resulted dst_reg bits are in the range [0, x - 1], and if no wrapping occurs, the result can be further narrowed down to [umin mod x, umax mod x];
b. when x == 0, dst_reg is truncated to 32 bits by mod32 or remains unchanged by mod64.

Same Nack as before.
Sorry, I did not receive Nack for this patch before.
You haven't answered _why_ anyone needs it.
No idea, I simply believe it's good to have a closer estimate of the result.
