From: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@xxxxxxxxxx> v3 -> v4: - fix drained issue reported by John. may_goto insn could be implemented with sticky state (once reaches 0 it stays 0), but the verifier shouldn't assume that. It has to explore both branches. Arguably drained iterator state shouldn't be there at all. bpf_iter_css_next() is not sticky. Can be fixed, but auditing all iterators for stickiness. That's an orthogonal discussion. - explained JMA name reasons in patch 1 - fixed test_progs-no_alu32 issue and added another test v2 -> v3: Major change - drop bpf_can_loop() kfunc and introduce may_goto instruction instead kfunc is a function call while may_goto doesn't consume any registers and LLVM can produce much better code due to less register pressure. - instead of counting from zero to BPF_MAX_LOOPS start from it instead and break out of the loop when count reaches zero - use may_goto instruction in cond_break macro - recognize that 'exact' state comparison doesn't need to be truly exact. regsafe() should ignore precision and liveness marks, but range_within logic is safe to use while evaluating open coded iterators.
