BPF verifier marks some instructions as prune points. Currently these prune points serve two purposes. It's a point where verifier tries to find previously verified state and check current state's equivalence to short circuit verification for current code path. But also currently it's a point where jump history, used for precision backtracking, is updated. This is done so that non-linear flow of execution could be properly backtracked. Such coupling is coincidental and unnecessary. Some prune points are not part of some non-linear jump path, so don't need update of jump history. On the other hand, not all instructions which have to be recorded in jump history necessarily are good prune points. This patch splits prune and jump points into independent flags. Currently all prune points are marked as jump points to minimize amount of changes in this patch, but next patch will perform some optimization of prune vs jmp point placement. No functional changes are intended.

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.
