When BPF_FETCH is set, atomic instructions load a value from memory into a register. The current verifier code first checks via check_mem_access whether we can access the memory, and then checks via check_reg_arg whether we can write into the register. For loads, check_reg_arg has the side-effect of marking the register's value as unkonwn, and check_mem_access has the side effect of propagating bounds from memory to the register. This currently only takes effect for stack memory. Therefore with the current order, bounds information is thrown away, but by simply reversing the order of check_reg_arg vs. check_mem_access, we can instead propagate bounds smartly. A simple test is added with an infinite loop that can only be proved unreachable if this propagation is present. This is implemented both with C and directly in test_verifier using assembly.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
