In adjust_scalar_min_max_vals(), let 32bit bounds learn from 64bit bounds
to get more tight bounds tracking. Similar operation can be found in
reg_set_min_max().

Also, we can now fold reg_bounds_sync() into zext_32_to_64().

Before:

func#0 @0
0: R1=ctx(off=0,imm=0) R10=fp0
0: (b7) r0 = 0 ; R0_w=0
1: (b7) r1 = 0 ; R1_w=0
2: (87) r1 = -r1 ; R1_w=scalar()
3: (87) r1 = -r1 ; R1_w=scalar()
4: (c7) r1 s>>= 63 ; R1_w=scalar(smin=-1,smax=0)
5: (07) r1 += 2 ; R1_w=scalar(umin=1,umax=2,var_off=(0x0; 0xffffffff)) <--- [*]
6: (95) exit

It can be seen that even if the 64bit bounds is clear here, the 32bit
bounds is still in the state of 'UNKNOWN'.

After:

func#0 @0
0: R1=ctx(off=0,imm=0) R10=fp0
0: (b7) r0 = 0 ; R0_w=0
1: (b7) r1 = 0 ; R1_w=0
2: (87) r1 = -r1 ; R1_w=scalar()
3: (87) r1 = -r1 ; R1_w=scalar()
4: (c7) r1 s>>= 63 ; R1_w=scalar(smin=-1,smax=0)
5: (07) r1 += 2 ; R1_w=scalar(umin=1,umax=2,var_off=(0x0; 0x3)) <--- [*]
6: (95) exit

Looks good to me. Thanks Youlin.

Thanks Youlin! Looks like the patch breaks CI [0] e.g.:

#142/p bounds check after truncation of non-boundary-crossing range FAIL
Failed to load prog 'Permission denied'!
invalid access to map value, value_size=8 off=16777215 size=1
R0 max value is outside of the allowed memory range
verification time 296 usec
stack depth 8
processed 15 insns (limit 1000000) max_states_per_insn 0 total_states 0 peak_states 0 mark_read 0

Please take a look. Also it would be great to add a test_verifier selftest to
assert above case from commit log against future changes.

Thanks,
Daniel

This test case fails because the 32bit boundary information is lost
after the 11th instruction is executed:
Before:
11: (07) r1 += 2147483647 ;
R1_w=scalar(umin=70866960383,umax=70866960638,var_off=(0x1000000000;
0xffffffff),u32_min=2147483647,u32_max=-2147483394)
After:
11: (07) r1 += 2147483647 ;
R1_w=scalar(umin=70866960383,umax=70866960638,var_off=(0x1000000000;
0xffffffff))

This may be because, in previous versions of the code, when
__reg_combine_64_into_32() was called, the 32bit boundary was
completely deduced from the 64bit boundary, so there was a call to
__mark_reg32_unbounded() in __reg_combine_64_into_32().

But now, before adjust_scalar_min_max_vals() calls
__reg_combine_64_into_32() , the 32bit bounds are already calculated
to some extent, and __mark_reg32_unbounded() will eliminate these
information.

Simply copying a code without __mark_reg32_unbounded() should work,
perhaps it would be more elegant to introduce a flag into
__reg_combine_64_into_32()?

Sorry for not completing the tests because I did not 'make selftests'
successfully, and uploaded the code that caused the error.

Under tools/testing/selftests/bpf/, you can run test_progs and test_verifier
through the vmtest script, e.g. `./vmtest.sh -- ./test_progs` should ease
running it. The whole `make selftests` is not necessary given here we care
about BPF, CI is running these where 2 failed and need investigation:

test_progs: PASS
test_progs-no_alu32: FAIL (returned 1)
test_maps: PASS
test_verifier: FAIL (returned 1)

Fwiw, for the test_verifier failure case at least, we should then adapt it
in a separate commit with an analysis explaining why it is okay to alter the
test; plus a 3rd commit adding new test cases as mentioned earlier.

Thanks a lot, Kuee!
