commit f7cf25b2026dc8441e0fa3a202c2aa8a56211e30 upstream.
Compilers often spill induction variables into the stack, hence it is necessary for the verifier to track scalar values of the registers through stack slots.
Also few bpf programs were incorrectly rejected in the past, since the verifier was not able to track such constants while they were used to compute offsets into packet headers.
Tracking constants through the stack significantly decreases the chances of state pruning, since two different constants are considered to be different by state equivalency. End result that cilium tests suffer serious degradation in the number of states processed and corresponding verification time increase.

After further debugging turned out that cillium progs are getting hurt by clang due to the same constant tracking issue. Newer clang generates better code by spilling less to the stack. Instead it keeps more constants in the registers which hurts state pruning since the verifier already tracks constants in the registers: old clang new clang (no spill/fill tracking introduced by this patch) bpf_lb-DLB_L3.o 1838 1923 bpf_lb-DLB_L4.o 3218 3077 bpf_lb-DUNKNOWN.o 1064 1062 bpf_lxc-DDROP_ALL.o 26935 166729 bpf_lxc-DUNKNOWN.o 34439 174607 bpf_netdev.o 9721 8407 bpf_overlay.o 6184 5420 bpf_lcx_jit.o 39389 39389
The final table is depressing: old clang old clang new clang new clang const spill/fill const spill/fill bpf_lb-DLB_L3.o 1838 6441 1923 8128 bpf_lb-DLB_L4.o 3218 5908 3077 6707 bpf_lb-DUNKNOWN.o 1064 1064 1062 1062 bpf_lxc-DDROP_ALL.o 26935 93790 166729 380712 bpf_lxc-DUNKNOWN.o 34439 123886 174607 440652 bpf_netdev.o 9721 31413 8407 31904 bpf_overlay.o 6184 18561 5420 23569 bpf_lxc_jit.o 39389 359445 39389 359445
Tracking constants in the registers hurts state pruning already. Adding tracking of constants through stack hurts pruning even more. The later patch address this general constant tracking issue with coarse/precise logic.
