This patch set moves a big chunk of verifier log related code from gigantic verifier.c file into more focused kernel/bpf/log.c. This is not essential to the rest of functionality in this patch set, so I can undo it, but it felt like it's good to start chipping away from 20K+ verifier.c whenever we can. The main purpose of the patch set, though, is in improving verifier log further. Patches #3-#4 start printing out register state even if that register is spilled into stack slot. Previously we'd get only spilled register type, but no additional information, like SCALAR_VALUE's ranges. Super limiting during debugging. For cases of register spills smaller than 8 bytes, we also print out STACK_MISC/STACK_ZERO/STACK_INVALID markers. This, among other things, will make it easier to write tests for these mixed spill/misc cases. Patch #5 prints map name for PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE/PTR_TO_MAP_KEY/CONST_PTR_TO_MAP registers. In big production BPF programs, it's important to map assembly to actual map, and it's often non-trivial. Having map name helps. Patch #6 just removes visual noise in form of ubiquitous imm=0 and off=0. They are default values, omit them. Patch #7 is probably the most controversial, but it reworks how verifier log prints numbers. For small valued integers we use decimals, but for large ones we switch to hexadecimal. From personal experience this is a much more useful convention. We can tune what consitutes "small value", for now it's 16-bit range. Patch #8 prints frame number for PTR_TO_CTX registers, if that frame is different from the "current" one. This removes ambiguity and confusion, especially in complicated cases with multiple subprogs passing around pointers.
