Hi Hao, Andrii,

I converted program in question to a runnable test, here is a link to
the patch adding it and disabling dead code removal:
https://gist.github.com/eddyz87/e888ad70c947f28f94146a47e33cd378

Run the test as follows:
  ./test_progs -vvv -a verifier_and/pruning_test

And inspect the retval:
  do_prog_test_run:PASS:bpf_prog_test_run 0 nsec
  run_subtest:FAIL:647 Unexpected retval: 1353935089 != 4

Note that I tried this test with two functions:
- bpf_get_current_cgroup_id, with this function I get retval 2, not 4 :)
- bpf_get_prandom_u32, with this function I get a random retval each time.

What is the expectation when 'bpf_get_current_cgroup_id' is used?
That it is some known (to us) number, but verifier treats it as unknown scalar?

Also, I find this portion of the verification log strange:

Here w8 == 15, w0 in range [0, 2], so the jump is being predicted,
but for some reason R0 is not among the registers that would be marked precise.
