Josef Bacik 484611357c bpf: allow access into map value arrays
Suppose you have a map array value that is something like this

struct foo {
	unsigned iter;
	int array[SOME_CONSTANT];
};

You can easily insert this into an array, but you cannot modify the contents of
foo->array[] after the fact.  This is because we have no way to verify we won't
go off the end of the array at verification time.  This patch provides a start
for this work.  We accomplish this by keeping track of a minimum and maximum
value a register could be while we're checking the code.  Then at the time we
try to do an access into a MAP_VALUE we verify that the maximum offset into that
region is a valid access into that memory region.  So in practice, code such as
this

unsigned index = 0;

if (foo->iter >= SOME_CONSTANT)
	foo->iter = index;
else
	index = foo->iter++;
foo->array[index] = bar;

would be allowed, as we can verify that index will always be between 0 and
SOME_CONSTANT-1.  If you wish to use signed values you'll have to have an extra
check to make sure the index isn't less than 0, or do something like index %=
SOME_CONSTANT.
